Nepal offers to mediate between India and Pakistan over Kashmir dispute

KATHMANDU (Dunya News) – Nepal has become first South-Asian country to offer mediation between Pakistan and India over Kashmir dispute for revival of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). In a statement, Foreign Minister Pradeep Kumar Gyawali assured to take steps to bring both countries on negotiation table. “Peaceful talks and discussions are the best ways to resolve any problems. There may be contradictions and differences but it can be resolved through dialogue. If necessary, we can play the role of the mediator as Nepal is an independent, neutral and peace loving country,” a Nepal government source reported. “We can be instrumental, but it will be better (for the two sides) to develop direct contact,” the source told a group of visiting journalists.
