Pakistan on Friday "regretted" India's virtual rejection of its proposal for talks on Kashmir even as it briefed the ambassadors of the P-5 and European Union countries about the situation there in yet another attempt to
internationalise the issue.
Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz briefed the Ambassadors of the Permanent Members of the UN Security Council -- China, France, Russia, the UK and the US -- and the European Union -- here about the alleged "killings and serious human rights violations" being committed in Kashmir, a Foreign Office statement said.
While regretting "the refusal from the Indian side" to hold talks on Kashmir, Aziz also briefed the ambassadors over the exchange of letters between Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry and his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar. 
Pakistan's move came after India hardened its stance further and once again virtually rejected Pakistan's latest invitation for talks on Kashmir, saying it is willing to discuss cross-border terrorism which was its "core concern".
Replying to his Pakistani counterpart Chaudhry's fresh invitation of August 19 to visit Islamabad by the end of this month to discuss Kashmir dispute, Jaishankar had said in a letter he was willing to discuss terrorism  emanating from Pakistan's territory which was India's core concern.
