The latest news on India and Pakistan. Pakistan's foreign minister has reiterated on Wednesday openness to talks with India following last month's brief but intense military exchange between the nuclear-armed neighbours, their worst military conflict in decades.

While expressing readiness for dialogue, he emphasised that the initiative must come from New Delhi and cover a broader range of issues beyond security. Meanwhile, the two neighbours remain at odds over Kashmir, water rights, and the scope of future negotiations.
