India, Pakistan should resolve issues peacefully without involvement of third party: US

Washington: The US expects Pakistan will be a responsible stakeholder on security issues and believes that India and Pakistan should resolve all their differences peacefully without any involvement of a third party, a senior American official has said.

"Our expectation continues to be that Pakistan will be a responsible stakeholder on security issues, in particular the nuclear issue," State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters at his daily news conference yesterday.

Kirby said America was concerned about the growing tensions between India and Pakistan and it was precisely the reason US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke with Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif last week.

"You heard Secretary Kerry talk to this very issue of concerns about tensions between India and Pakistan right now and our continued belief that both sides need to work these issues out peaceably and on their own," he said.

Kerry made a call to Sharif soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi had spoken to his Pakistani counterpart and greeted him on the eve of holy month of Ramadan.

"I talked with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif regarding a recent increase in the tensions publicly between India and Pakistan. It's of enormous concern to all of us for all the obvious reasons," Kerry had said.

"These are two very, very important countries playing a critical role with respect to regional interests, and it's very, very important that there be no misinterpretation or miscalculation with respect to any of the back-and-forth and the empowerment some entities might feel as a result of that," Kerry had told reporters in Boston.

Indians are getting bored about hearing CPEC. India is one of the ten top investment destinations in the world. It attracts much much more investment than $46 billion

Keeping CPEC in limelight is good for India.

US is just parroting India's position. I think there is no country in the world that can force India for talks.

Here is a question from you. On one hand, there is friend who has betrayed you from all of your life and on the other hand you have a friend who stood by you in the time of need. Who would you pick?

P.S I am quite surprised that a third is suggesting it?

There are no friends in real life who stands with you all your life. Only fools believe in that. Self interest wins all the time.

Neither US nor China are frnds they are just a monkey in fight between two cats. china wants cpec to improve its trade reach(+ military sales) and usa wants to sell military goods ( + counter china).

Ever seen china or usa fight against each directly ? They only use proxies without getting damaged themselves. Worst part is they still continue trading in billions when rest of the world end up fighting for them.
Smart ppl.
