Islamabad, July 19: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today told the Pakistani leadership that the US wants the continuation of dialogue between New Delhi and Islamabad so that the two sides can resolve their outstanding problems amicably, diplomatic sources said here today.
Clinton, who is currently here for the US-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue, made the remarks after a delegation-led by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi briefed her on the meeting between the Foreign Ministers of India and Pakistan here on July 15.
“The Secretary of State made it clear that the US is interested that the process between Pakistan and India should be sustained,” a diplomatic source familiar with the discussions told PTI.
The Pakistani delegation told Clinton about the reasons why the Foreign Ministers had been unable to make any headway in their talks.
