SINGAPORE: A top Indian envoy said the dispute over Kashmir is a bilateral issue with Pakistan, rejecting any external mediation on the matter despite the United States saying it wanted to facilitate talks.

“For us, Kashmir is a bilateral issue, not an international issue,” High Commissioner of India to Singapore Shilpak Ambule told Bloomberg TV’s Haslinda Amin on Monday (May 12). “For us, the word mediation does not work with the Kashmir issue.”
