Summary US believes that it's important for leaders of Pakistan and India to resume dialogue.

WASHINGTON (Agencies) - The US said on Monday that there has not been any change in its position on Kashmir which remains a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan, as it ruled out any role for itself in the revival of Indo-Pak talks.

"The tensions in the region are significant. We recognise that, and we believe it s important for leaders of both countries to resume this dialogue and the discussion and to try to come to some resolution," State Department Spokesman John Kirby told reporters at his daily news conference.

“What we have said, particularly with the tension in Kashmir, is that our position has not changed, that this is an issue that India and Pakistan need to resolve,” Kirby said.
