Envoy calls for Pak-India dialogue to resolve bilateral issues

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Masood Khan on Thursday called for dialogue between Pakistan and India to resolve all bilateral issues, including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir.

In an interview with Newsweek, he said Kashmir dispute is the flashpoint between India and Pakistan and must be resolved as per aspirations of the Kashmiri people.

According to a press release issued from Washington DC, Ambassador Masood Khan said due to the distraction of international attention, Kashmir dispute has become a dangerous blind spot.

Emphasising the early resolution of the dispute, he said freedom of Kashmiri people is as sacred as freedoms of any other people in any part of the world.

The envoy hoped to continue to build more substantive ties between Pakistan and the United States, based not only on security but also in various other fields such as investment education and climate change.
