Pakistan has expressed grave concern over the reports of desecration of the Holy Quran in the Indian occupied Kashmir during a time when the two countries are on the verge of resuming composite peace dialogue.

Pakistan's spokesperson said that the country is keen on the resumption of peace talks with India and believes that the Indian government will carry out the announced inquiries, the Express Tribune reports.

He further added that a number of Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) are in place and need to be implemented.

The back channel diplomacy can also contribute to addressing the mistrust between the two countries over several issues, the report added.
