It is in America’s interest to see that the Kashmir issue is resolved but the country can only encourage India and Pakistan to work towards a solution, a senior Democrat and head of a prestigious US-based think tank has said.
Lee Hamilton, vice-chairman of the 9/11 Commission and now president of the prestigious Washington-based think tank, Woodrow Wilson Centre for Scholars, has argued it is in US’s interest to resolve the Kashmir issue, which he said would require tough diplomacy.
Appearing on the popular Charlie Rose show on PBS channel, Hamilton however said the US cannot resolve the issue and can only encourage both the countries to do so.
“We certainly need to work with Pakistan and India to resolve the Kashmir problem. The United States can’t resolve that, but we can encourage the two parties to address it,” Hamilton said.
A Democrat, Hamilton served in the US House of Representatives for as many as 34 years.
