Washington, February 26: India and Pakistan have realised that only they can resolve the differences between them and United States will encourage the two nations to do so, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said.
“I think both countries realise there are lots of important issues that only they can resolve between them, but the United States has encouraged the dialogue and we obviously hope that it will be productive,” Clinton told lawmakers at a Congressional hearing.
Clinton was responding to questions from the members of Foreign Affairs and Related Programs Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee.
The lawmakers expressed concerns about the possibility of the Taliban getting hold of the Pakistan nuclear weapons and India taking preventive measures.
“Well, Congressman, that’s an extremely important issue and it’s one that we take as a very high priority in our efforts with both countries.
