Topic Description:
The United States on Friday said that there is no change in its policy on Kashmir and called on India and Pakistan to maintain calm and restraint. The US policy has been that Kashmir is a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan and it is up to the two countries to decide on the pace and scope of the talks on the issue. After Pakistan PM Imran Khan appealed to the international community to look at the situation in Kashmir, United Nations chief Antonio Guterres has urged the neighbours to exercise "maximum restraint". The UN chief then invoked the Simla Agreement that states that Kashmir is a bilateral issue. The Maldives too, on Wednesday showed support for India's decision to repeal Article 370 by highlighting that it considers the move as an "internal matter." With the exception of Pakistan and China, major countries in the world have backed the Indian move that aims to integrate Kashmir more closely with the rest of the country.
