Islamabad May 9: The Prime Minister of Pakistan Administered Kashmir Sardar Attique Ahmed Khan on Monday said that Kashmir dispute can be resolved through tripartite talks between Pakistan, India and the people of Kashmir.
“For a sustainable peace and development in south Asia the resolution of this extra-sensitive issue was essentially important”, Khan said while addressing a reception ceremony in his honour by the Councillors and members of the Pak-Kashmiri community of Luton in UK.
“To create a congenial atmosphere there is a dire need that tripartite dialogue should start at different levels to move towards conflict resolution. Majority of people in India and Pakistan feel the urgency of improvement in bilateral relations between the two neighbouring states to settle the key issues including the longstanding dispute of Kashmir”, he said.
Highlighting the vulnerability of the dispute, he said Kashmir issue can’t be kept unresolved for long. “ Kashmir can’t be overlooked as it is surrounded by three nuclear-armed states of south Asia. Britain can play very important role to settle the Kashmir dispute peacefully,” he said.
Replying to a query, Attique said that Kashmiris are by nature peaceful and co-existentialists. “All segments of Kashmiri society lived together in perfect peace and harmony for over 700 years”, he maintained.
Speaking on the occasion Mayor Luton Tom Shaw suggested large scale cultural exchanges between UK and Pakistan and PaK to promote better understanding amongst the peoples of the two regions.
