Commanders of the BSF and the Pakistan Rangers met in Jammu and Kashmir Monday evening.The meeting had been requested by Pakistan.
The BSF PRO said the "meeting went off in a conducive atmosphere with prime focus to maintain peace and tranquility on border".
There has been very little peace on the border in recent days with both India and Pakistan reporting ceasefire violations virtually every day.
"Today's meeting is likely to bring firing-free environment, particularly for border area villagers on both sides. Commanders on both side agreed to keep talks on at every level to develop confidence between two border-guarding forces,"the BSF PRO added.
The PRO added that the commanders would next meet on June 21.
The ceasefire between India and Pakistan was signed in 2003.
The ceasefire held for 10 years.
Then in January 2013 India alleged that a Pakistani Border Action Team crossed over, ambushed an Indian Army patrol, and killed two soldiers.
One of the two soldiers was beheaded.
Pakistan denied the claim but the allegation caused massive outrage in India. India promised an "appropriate response".
