Terming the Kashmir dispute as the main reason of tension with India, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has urged New Delhi to hold talks on all issues, including Kashmir.

The issue should also be raised at other platforms besides bilateral talks between the two neighbouring countries, Geo TV quoted Sharif as saying on Tuesday.

"Sooner the issue is resolved, the better it will be for both the countries," he said, adding Pakistan will continue playing its due role for peace and stability in the region.
