Islamabad, Mar 6 ( Prensa Latina ) Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said Wednesday that Pakistan is ready to commit to India in any dialogue to end the current conflict because it wants peace in the region.

Qureshi said Pakistan wants to solve all the problems with India, which are hindering peace between both countries.

The Foreign Minister said it is time to end all conflicts and move toward peace, Radio Pakistan reported Wednesday.

Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reiterated his call on India and Pakistan to reduce tensions.

U.N. chief spokesman Stephane Dujarric said from New York that both countries are being contacted at various levels to express concern and the need to do everything possible to reduce tensions.

A difficult international situation arose between India and Pakistan after a terrorist attack on February 14 in the controversial region of Kashmir, where a bus from an Indian military convoy was smashed by a suicide car bombing killing 44 members of the security corps.

Tension increased even further 12 days after that attack when Indian planes dropped bombs near Balakot city in Pakistan, to destroy three alleged camps of the terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), which had claimed the fact.

Several incidents between the air forces of these two nuclear powers occurred dangerously in the airspace of both sides.

The two nations compete for possession of the Muslim-dominated divided territory of Kashmir from the border partition after independence from British colonial rule in 1947.
