WASHINGTON, Feb 8: The India-Pakistan peace process could ultimately lead to an understanding between the two neighbours on the Kashmir dispute, according to ambassador Dennis Kux.

An expert on South Asia and a former US ambassador, Mr Kux was the main speaker at a Kashmir Day seminar on Capitol Hill on Wednesday where several speakers described Kashmir as an issue that could lead to a nuclear disaster in South Asia.

Mr Kux termed the Siachen dispute “the most resolvable” conflict in the region but said he did not understand why the two nations had not yet been able to solve it.
