Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday raised the Kashmir issue during his meeting with a delegation of US Senators, saying it should be resolved in accordance with the UN resolutions.
Sharif, who met senators Tim Kaine, member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Angus King, member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, underlined that dialogue is the only way
forward between India and Pakistan.
A statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office here said that Sharif told the two senators that the ‘UN resolutions must form the basis for any solution for Kashmir and people of Kashmir be made part of it.’
‘He asked the UN to honour its own resolutions on this matter. He said the only acceptable solution of Kashmir will be the one which is endorsed by all parties including Pakistan, India and Kashmiris,’ the statement said.
Sharif expressed his disappointment on the cancellation of Foreign Secretary-level talks between India and Pakistan.
