Pakistan welcomes Indian commitment to resolve Kashmir dispute
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 16 - 07 - 2007

Pakistan on Monday welcomed Indian Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh's remarks about his country's commitment to
bilateral peace talks that could end differences over Kashmir, according to dpa.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tasneem Aslam told reporters in
Islamabad that Singh's statement came as an acknowledgment of the
serious discussions continuing on the disputed Himalayan territory.
Amid much optimism about the resolution of the decades-old dispute
without any change in borders, Singh on Sunday said: "There can be no
questions of divisions or partitions, but the Line of Control can
become a line of peace with a freer flow of ideas, goods, services
and people."
The Line of Control (LoC) is a de facto boundary that demarcates
the territories controlled by India and Pakistan in Kashmir.
Aslam said the peace dialogue between Pakistan and India should
focus on making progress on issues that had caused tension and
conflicts between the two nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours.
"Any out of the box solution to the Kashmir dispute that reflects
the aspirations of Kashmiris will make the LoC irrelevant," she
noted.
According to Aslam, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf had
emphasized that any workable settlement should be acceptable to
Pakistan and India but, more importantly, to the people of the
disputed region.
"Pakistan has made many proposals for greater interaction between
Kashmiris on both sides," she said.
Pakistan and India have fought three wars, two of which were over
Kashmir, since they gained independence from Britain in 1947.
The archrivals entered peace talks, commonly referred to as
composite dialogue, in early 2004 thus beginning negotiations on a
host of issues, including that of their claim on the Himalayan
territory in totality.
