UN chief encourages Indo-Pak to resolve issues

United Nations, Sept 25: Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary General of United Nations asked leaders of India and Pakistan to resolve their outstanding issues.

He asked leaders of both the countries to meet and resolve the issues through dialogue, reported Dawn online citing UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.

"UN's General Assembly session has always provided an occasion for leaders to talk to each other and sort the issues facing their countries," added Ban Ki-moon.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif are in New York to attend the 70th Session of United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

Tensions between the two countries mounted after national security adviser level talks were called off in August as India refused to discuss Kashmir during the meeting.
