Pakistan welcomes Putin offer to resolve Delhi-Islamabad tensions

Pakistan on Thursday welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin's reported offer to resolve tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi.

"Pakistan welcomes Russia's attention and intention to play a role in this long-standing issue on the UNSC agenda," Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria said.

Zakaria said there was a growing realization among countries in the region and the UN that India's "unprovoked hostility" along the Jammu and Kashmir border threatened peace.
