US not to interfere in Indo-Pak issues: Blake | The United States has once again made it clear that it would not interfere in issues concerning India and Pakistan, and that they should be resolved by the two countries themselves.
Interacting with media persons here, US Assistant Secretary of State for South
Asia, Robert Blake, said it was important to resolve the pending issues between
India and Pakistan, but Washington believes that it should be done by the two
concerned states only. "This is a very sensitive topic for them. And our position
has always been that this is something that needs to be worked out between our
two friends, India and Pakistan, so I'd prefer to just leave it at what I already
said," The Dawn quoted Blake, as saying. He, however, parried questions regarding
Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna's concerns regarding an increase in US aid to Pakistan.
"I'd rather not get into trying to talk about what the Indians said. I mean, I'd
prefer you just ask them directly about their positions, because particularly
on this subject, it's quite a sensitive issue, and I don't want to mischaracterize
their views," Blake said. Blake said that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has
welcomed the meeting between Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna with his Pakistani
counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi which is scheduled to take place on Sunday in
New York. |
