Any discussion on Kashmir will only be with Pakistan: India to US

India has said that any discussion on Kashmir, if at all warranted, will only be with Pakistan and only bilaterally.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar today made this clear to his American counterpart Mike Pompeo in Thailand days after US President Donald Trump offered to mediate on the Kashmir issue.

Mr Jaishankar is in the Thailand capital to attend a number of conferences, including the ASEAN-India Ministerial Meeting, the 9th East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers'



Meeting, the 26th ASEAN Regional Forum and the 10th Mekong Ganga Cooperation Ministerial Meeting. 

He met US Secretary of State Pompeo on the sidelines of the second day of 9th East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers meet in Bangkok. 

This was the first official meeting between the two top officials after President Trump's controversial comments on him mediating between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue.
