US again urges India, Pakistan to resolve issues via dialogue

The United State has once again called on India and Pakistan to resolve differences through dialogue, according to a US State Department's statement.

According to the Dawn, the US State Department Deputy Spokesman Mark C. Toner said that the US has encouraged the two South Asian neighbours to hold talks in order to reduce the escalating tensions.

Toner also maintained that US recognises that there is still a threat from terrorist groups like Haqqani Network emanating from Pakistan.

The national security advisers of India and Pakistan were scheduled to meet in New Delhi last month but the talks were called off.
