The United States has said that some issues between India and Pakistan deal with "violent extremism" and some do not, and urged both countries to resume formal talks.
According to the Dawn, State Department spokesman John Kirby said that the US wanted both nations to discuss the issues.
Commenting on the Kashmir dispute, Kirby said that the US maintains its stand that it was an issue, adding that India and Pakistan need to resolve it.
He also said that the US plays a role when it comes to countering terrorism around the world.
Kirby declined to give a definitive answer when asked about the possibility of talks between US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Indian and Pakistani counterparts during the UN General Assembly session next month.
