The United States is actively engaged in diplomatic discussions with both India and Pakistan regarding the long-standing Kashmir dispute, according to Reuters.

The report added that the US is urging both nations to work towards a “responsible solution.”

“This is an evolving situation and we are monitoring developments closely. We have been in touch with the governments of India and Pakistan at multiple levels,” Reuters quoted a US State Department spokesman as saying.

The spokesman added that, “The United States encourages all parties to work together towards a responsible resolution.”

However, the spokesman added that it condemned the attack against tourists in Pahalgam and stood with Indian as it tries to find and apprehend the perpetrators of the attack.

At least 26 tourists were gunned down by assailants in Pahalgam, a popular tourist spot in Indian-Occupied Kashmir. In response, the country put the blame for the attack on Pakistan, announcing that it would hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, revoke visas for Pakistanis and slash Pakistan’s diplomatic presence in India.

In response, Pakistan also cut Indian diplomatic presence and revoked visas for Indians, even banning its airspace for Indian planes.
