India and Pakistan should bilaterally resolve the Kashmir issue, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday. The statement came during a phone call that Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi made to his Russian counterpart.
“The Russian side emphasised the need for deescalation of tensions, and that there is no alternative to resolving differences between Pakistan and India except bilaterally through political and diplomatic means,” stated an official press release from the Russian government.
