U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan met Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and called for talks between India and Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir issue and avert another crisis.
Annan, who was on a two-day visit to Pakistan, said ending the immediate crisis--a major military buildup along the shared border--was not enough.
He called for a “sustained and determined action against extremist groups . . . and equally sustained and determined dialogue between Pakistan and India to resolve their differences by peaceful means.”
