There is some cooperative behavior to be seen in the changing of the guard obviously, but the hostility between the two sides is what jumps out. Yes, there is some cooperation going on, but it exists because it is what these people are supposed to do as part of their jobs in the first place. Anyway, some departure from rules and norms is to be expected in any organization. It is only the form that this sort of departure (from the rules and norms) takes that varies from one organization to another. Granted, it may be indicative of the underlying hostility to some people, but honestly, who doesn't know about the tensions between the two countries? So, to me, there is nothing surprising here. It doesn't add much to the big picture.
Looking out from here in the U.S., the bigger picture is that India is doing a lot better than Pakistan. It is on course to continue to do even better. And this is because whereas India has painstakingly built up a reasonably efficient market economy (thanks to some fine institutions) over the years, Pakistan has not. That Pakistan has failed in this respect, to me, is very worrying.
