The British Government has a deep and broad partnership with India and Pakistan in which we discuss a wide range of matters, including Kashmir. These discussions take place regularly in London and in both Delhi and Islamabad.

The long standing position of the British Government is that it is for India and Pakistan to find a lasting resolution to the situation in Kashmir, taking into account the wishes of the Kashmiri people. We encourage both sides to maintain positive dialogue, but the pace and scope of this is for them to determine.
