WASHINGTON – Voicing concern over escalation in violence along the Line of Control in disputed region of Jammu Kashmir, a top American envoy said that the United States has raised the issue with both Pakistan and India and asked them to resolve the tensions through dialogue.
“We are extremely concerned by reports of violence over the last two weeks along the Line of Control and the working boundary,” US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Dan Feldman said in a speech to the Atlantic Council – a thinktank in Washington. "I've personally raised these concerns with each side - and urged them to engage in dialogue to reduce tensions and end the violence,” he said.
Feldman noted there was no relationship more critical to Pakistan's future than its relationship with its neighbour. “And I am convinced that India's rise in prosperity and global leadership cannot be fully realised until it has a better relationship with Pakistan,” he added.
