The Samjhauta Express and Delhi – Lahore Bus service are two of these successful measures which have played a crucial role in expanding people-to-people contact between the two countries .

After the 2005 Kashmir earthquake , India sent aid to affected areas in Pakistani Kashmir and Punjab as well as Indian Kashmir
