Pakistan's Advisor on Foreign Affairs said that the country would formally write to India about holding dialogue.
A day after writing to Arab League member countries to intervene over Kashmir unrest, Pakistan's Advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Friday said that the country would invite India for a dialogue on Jammu & Kashmir dispute.
"Pakistan would invite India for a dialogue on Jammu and Kashmir dispute. Our Foreign Secretary would formally be writing to his counterpart," ANI quoted Aziz as saying.
Aziz also said that Pakistan is prepared to consider translating unilateral moratorium into a bilateral arrangement on non-testing with India.
Pakistan on Thursday said it had written to the Arab League highlighting 'horrific' Indian brutalities in Kashmir and asked its member countries to intervene.
Aziz, in a letter to the Secretary-General of Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, said the current unrest in the valley was a "manifestation of continued and long-held alienation" of the Kashmiris, the Foreign Office (FO) said.
"The Advisor underscored that India has unleashed a reign of terror against the innocent and defenceless civilians since the extra-judicial killing of a young Kashmiri leader Burhan Wani," the FO said.
The Arab League countries were also urged to call upon India to immediately stop the "bloodshed and massacre" in Kashmir and implement the pending UNSC resolutions.
The letter is the latest attempt by Pakistan to involve the international community in the Kashmir issues. Earlier, Pakistan also wrote to the UN about the situation in Kashmir.
India and Pakistan are witnessing growing bitterness after Pakistan and its Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made provocative statements on the Kashmir situation in the wake of Hizbul Mujahideen leader Burhan Wani's killing on July 8.
Not only did Sharif praise Wani but he also remarked that "Kashmir will one day become Pakistan", a comment which evoked a sharp reaction from External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who said his dream of the state becoming a part of his country "will not be realised even at the end of eternity".
Further needling India, Pakistan has demanded an independent inquiry into the 'extrajudicial' killing of Wani and claimed that the denial of 'plebiscite' to Kashmiri people was behind the flare-up in the Valley
