US Urges India And Pakistan To Resolve Differences Through Diplomacy

WASHINGTON:  The United States has urged India and Pakistan to resolve their differences through diplomacy.

"We have continued to encourage India and Pakistan to find ways to resolve their differences, not through violence, but through diplomacy," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters at his daily news conference.

Speaking about Pakistan, Mr Earnest said, "We have condemned violence, particularly terrorist attacks."

He was responding to a question on India's decision not to attend the SAARC Summit in Islamabad in November citing continuous cross border terrorism by Pakistan against India.

The State Department too refrained to make any comment on India's decision in this regard and said it is for New Delhi to decide.

"I would refer you to the Government of India to comment on their decision not to attend this meeting," State Department Deputy Spokesperson Mark Toner said.
