§ Mr. McCabeTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the current situation in Kashmir. [114702]
§ Mr. HainWe are deeply concerned by the situation in Kashmir, including violent clashes across the line of control and denial of human rights, and we regularly raise this with the Indian and Pakistani authorities. In January the Foreign Secretary raised Kashmir with his Indian counterpart during talks in London. We have also condemned in the strongest terms externally sponsored terrorism. We hope that India and Pakistan will return to bilateral dialogue to find a solution to this and the other issues that divide them.
