ISLAMABAD, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan has decided to propose to India for exclusive dialogue on the dispute over Kashmir, the country's top foreign affairs adviser Sartaj Aziz said on Friday.
India suspended bilateral dialogue with Pakistan after gunmen attacked an Indian air base at Pathankot in January. India had blamed the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammad group for the attack.
Sartaj Aziz said Pakistan's Foreign Secretary would be writing a letter to his Indian counterpart to extend a formal invitation for the talks.
He told a news conference in Islamabad that Pakistan will invite India for Kashmir talks despite the stalled Composite Dialogue process between the two countries.
Pakistan and India have fought three wars, two over Kashmir, since their independence in 1947.
The adviser said that a recent conference of the Pakistani envoys also focused on relations with India.
"As for India, the Envoys Conference noted that India's policy of not engaging in a comprehensive dialogue with Pakistan was not conducive for peace in South Asia," Aziz said.
The conference discussed a number of diplomatic initiatives being taken. In this regard, Pakistan should invite India for a dialogue on Jammu and Kashmir dispute, he went on to say.
The conference emphasized to continue full diplomatic, political and moral support to the Kashmiris movement for self- determination.
Answering a question, the advisor said Kashmir would be on top of the agenda of Pakistan during the forthcoming session of the UN General Assembly.
Sartaj Aziz said Pakistan has written to the UN Human Rights Council on "human rights violations" in the Indian-controlled Kashmir and that the council has conveyed to India that it wants to send a fact-finding mission to Kashmir.
India had described as interference Pakistan's statement about the recent violence in its part of Kashmir following the death of a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen commander.
The Pakistani adviser said his country has already shared a dossier on the "Indian involvement in subversive activities in Pakistan" with the world community and the UN, adding the dossier would be updated before next UN General Assembly Session.
