Pakistan very hopeful of resolving Kashmir row (Agencies) Updated: 2005-06-13 10:12
Pakistan is very hopeful of resolving the dispute with nuclear rival India
over Kashmir, President Pervez Musharraf said on Monday, but he declined to give
a time frame.
"The most important thing is for the leadership to have the will to reach a
conclusion and I feel that at this moment the leadership has the desire and the
will...." he told reporters on a stopover in Malaysia en route to Australia and
New Zealand.
"Therefore I am optimistic that it will be resolved in a certain time frame,"
Musharraf added when asked if the dispute could be resolved in a year or two.
Kashmir has been at the centre of two of the three wars India and Pakistan
have fought since winning independence from Britain in 1947, but relations
between South Asia's nuclear rivals are improving since they launched peace
talks early last year.
Musharraf is making the first visit by a Pakistani head of state to Australia
and New Zealand.
