§ Mr. HainWhile visiting India, I welcomed the Indian Government's ceasefire in Kashmir during Ramadan, and called on militants and those supporting them to respond positively. I have welcomed Pakistan's subsequent announcement that its forces at the line of control will observe maximum restraint. We hope that these recent developments will create a climate which encourages dialogue between the Indian and Pakistani Governments.
