| The US has ruled out any role for itself in the revival of India-Pakistan dialogue, saying it is for the leaders of the two countries to decide on the pace and scope of the peace talks.
"The tensions in the region are significant. We recognize that, and we believe it's important for leaders of both countries to resume this dialogue and the discussion and to try to come to some resolution," State Department Spokesman John Kirby told reporters at his daily news conference on Monday.
"What we've said, particularly with the tension in Kashmir, is that our position has not changed, that this is an issue that India and Pakistan need to resolve," Mr Kirby said. He was responding to questions on talks between the national security advisors of India and Pakistan that were called off by Islamabad at the last moment.
"We were encouraged by the constructive interaction. The early constructive interaction between the leaders of India and Pakistan earlier this year in Russia," John Kirby said.
"We are disappointed that the talks didn't happen. We just encourage India and Pakistan to resume a formal dialogue soon," he said.
Mr Kirby reiterated that it is for the leaders of the two countries to decide on the pace and scope of the peace talks.
"We want both nations to sit down and hammer out the issues between them. Some of them have to do with violent extremism and some of them don't. We understand that, but these are issues that the two parties have got to work out," he added.
