US encourages India and Pak to get back to dialogue: Clinton

Washington, Nov 20 (PTI) The Obama Administration
encourages India and Pakistan to get back into dialogue
process which was halted by the Mumbai terrorist attack, US
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said.

"We are encouraging them (India and Pakistan) to get
back into dialogue. We think that (dialogue) is important. But
with respect to any resolution, that's up to them," Clinton
told the BBC in an interview, the transcripts of which was
released by the State Department here.
Clinton was responding to a question if the
Administration is looking at tackling the issue of Kashmir
between the two countries.
"Well, we have encouraged both countries to resume a
dialogue that they were engaged in which came to a halt and
yet holds a lot of promise.
They had made progress, I am told, in sorting
through some of the longstanding difficulties they face, and
most particularly the status of Kashmir," she said.
"But it is clear that any solution has to come from
the two countries themselves," Clinton said. PTI LKJ
