00:01Yes, sir.
00:02Glasses.
00:03Yesterday, there was a meeting of United Nations Security Council where all the permanent
00:07and non-permanent members were there, including U.S.
00:10That meeting was on the Pakistan-India tensions, and all the members were of the view that
00:16the only way to resolve Pakistan-India tensions is to resolve the Kashmir issue.
00:21And –
00:22Is – I'm sorry.
00:23To do what?
00:24The Kashmir issue should be –
00:25The Kashmir issue.
00:26Yes, of course.
00:27Through U.N. Security Council resolution, which were adopted and approved.
00:31Like many decades ago, U.S. also approved it.
00:33So just wondering if you want to say about something about any position.
00:36MS.
00:37Well, what – you know, there's – as we know, this is a dynamic, serious issue.
00:45So I'll repeat some of what I've said before, but as you know, I'm limited here.
00:51It remains an evolving situation.
00:52We clearly are still closely involved in monitoring.
00:56We continue to urge Pakistan and India to work towards a responsible resolution that maintains
01:02long-term peace and regional stability in South Asia.
01:05We remain in touch with the governments of both countries at multiple levels.
01:11We are not watching from afar in that regard.
01:14We are engaged.
01:16And you know, we're aware of various reports that are happening in the midst of this very
01:22delicate situation.
01:24And of course, we – I think not – without being involved, certainly in the phone calls,
01:31I do have – it's comfortable to have tremendous trust in the President and in the Secretary
01:35of State when it comes to how this is unfolding.
01:36All right.
01:39All right.
