ISLAMABAD: United Nations chief Antonio Guterres in a four-day visit to Islamabad announced that he is worried by underlining his fears about tensions between Pakistan and India over the disputed Kashmir region.

"I am deeply concerned," Guterres said at a joint press conference with Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, pointing to renewed clashes between the South Asian nuclear-armed neighbours in recent months.
