ISLAMABAD:
Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz claimed Saturday that Pakistan and India have decided to resolve the disputed Kashmir, Siachen and Sir Creek through ‘diplomacy’.
“Both leaders were of the opinion that for lasting peace the way forward was to address the outstanding issues like Kashmir, Siachen and Sir Creek,” Aziz said, pointing at the Ufa meeting between the two.
“The two sides also agreed to take up these issues under the back-channel Track-II mechanism for better understanding of each other’s point of view,” Aziz added.
Aziz’z statement came after opposition parties criticised Pakistan over not mentioning the Kashmir dispute in a joint statement issued by the foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India over Russia talks.
