Pakistan calls on UN to pressure India for talks

Pakistan on Thursday called on the United Nations to put pressure on India to begin a dialogue over the Kashmir issue.

Foreign Minister Abdul Sattar sent letters to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and the president of the Security Council urging them to help defuse the 'explosive situation'.

Describing India as 'an arrogant power' using the fight against terrorism as a pretext for aggression, the letters said Pakistan was ready to cooperate with any effort to reduce tension and promote dialogue.
