US intervention in Kashmir dispute "inevitable": Pakistan minister(Updated at 1930 PST)
NEW DELHI: Pakistani Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Wednesday said the United States would have to get involved if the five-decade Kashmir dispute with India is ever to be solved.
India considers Kashmir a purely bilateral issue and is vehemently opposed to any third-party mediation in the dispute.
"Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf has asked the US president to help restore dialogue with India," said Rashid, who is in India for a South Asian information ministers' meeting.
"Ultimately superpowers will step in, they will get involved in solving the problem, they will facilitate talks... US intervention is inevitable. The practical is completely different from the theoretical," he told a press conference.
