UNITED NATIONS: United Nations Secretary General’s good offices are available to resolve the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan provided both countries ask for it, spokesman for the UN chief said on Wednesday.

In reply to a question at a briefing, the spokesman said the UN chief is ready if the two countries ask for it.

On Wednesday Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said India had failed to respond to Pakistan’s desire for good relations.
