KARACHI: Pakistan’s Roving Ambassador, Mr Mushtaq Ahmad Gurmani, who has just returned to Karachi said last night [Feb 28] that the latest resolution of the Security Council on Kashmir “aims at bringing together the two points of view to facilitate the implementation of the Pakistan-Bharat agreement for the solution of the Kashmir problem”.

Now that the Security Council was in possession of the case and it had been made clear that no new solution of the Kashmir problem was to be sought — the solution already existed — “all that is required is the implementation of that agreement,” Mr Gurmani added.

[Meanwhile, as reported by a correspondent,] the US Roving Ambassador, Mr Phillip C. Jessup, told a Press conference in Karachi on Tuesday [Feb 28] that peace between Pakistan and Bharat was of “great importance to the world”. … “Do not you think that the rising tension between Pakistan and Bharat is a threat to peace in South-East Asia, which the USA is eager to preserve?” The US diplomat … said he … hoped the differences between Pakistan and Bharat would be peacefully settled.
