Asserting that Pakistan-India ties have improved, former Pakistani Foreign Secretary Mir Humayun Khan has said the ongoing dialogue process between the two countries is an opportunity for resolving the Kashmir issue as per the "wishes of people of undivided Jammu and Kashmir".
"People-to-people contact between the two countries have improved the ties between Islamabad and New Delhi and it is an opportune time to find a solution to the Kashmir issue as per the wishes of the people of the undivided Jammu and Kashmir," he said while interacting with the activists of J&K Forum for Regional Voices, PTI reported.
The forum, in collaboration with Delhi-based Centre for Dialogue and Reconciliation, organised a two-day "intra-Kashmir dialogue" in occupied Jammu on April 12-13, followed by a reception for the Pakistani delegation.
Khan, who was part of the 12-member delegation from Pakistan and Azad Kashmir that took part in the deliberations, said: "The ongoing peace process is a serious and sincere effort.
"This time there is change of hearts in the public of both the countries. Public opinion has changed in both India and Pakistan and a realisation has come that the main party to the occupied Kashmir issue, the Kashmiris, should be listened to."
