Time is ripe to discuss Kashmir: Pakistan

"Pakistan has taken all measures possible to de-escalate the situation," foreign office spokesman Aziz Ahmad Khan said in Islamabad.

"Pakistan has expressed willingness for a dialogue and firmly believes that time is ripe to address all issues between Pakistan and India, particularly the core issue of Jammu and Kashmir, in a serious, meaningful and purposeful manner," he said.

"What is required is to sit down and find resolution of all issues and that is possible through dialogue," Khan said.

He said continued deployment of forces could lead to a tragic incident and called for their withdrawal to peacetime locations.

On the assassination of Afghan vice-president Haji Abdul Qadir, the spokesman said, "He was a patriotic Afghan and a friend of Pakistan."
