“We are following the developments closely," the secretary-general's spokesperson Martin Nesirky said in reply to a question on the latest developments in India-held Kashmir at the regular noon briefing.
He called for a dialogue to overcome the difficulties in the way of settling the issue.
Tensions between the two neighbours have escalated since the turn of the new year when a border altercation resulted in India kiling a Pakistani soldier. Pakistan retaliated in which two Indian soldiers were killed in an incident in which India claimed one of its soldier was beheaded. Another Pakistani soldier was killed in a subsequent incident of cross border firing by India.

It is an admission that UN resolution on plebicite in Kashmir is redundant.
UN chief calls for Indo-Pak dialogue to ease Kashmir tensions And there goes down Pakistan's another attempt at internationalizing the issue... Cheers...
UN resolutions on Kashmir, rubbish..... however, anything from UN which favors India and belittles Pakistan, needs to be highlighted in headlines.

I'd be more respectful. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is a great friend of India.

Like UN pulled up Pakistan after Kargil, Parliament attack and Mumbai mayhem ??? Go get a life Mr Moon.
