Pakistan's envoy to India Abdul Basit on Monday said that war is not a solution between the two countries and bilateral issues can be resolved only through talks.
"Only foolish people would consider war as a solution to the problems. Five months have passed since Pathankot (attack) but the dialogue process between India and Pakistan has not resumed," he told the media in the national capital.
"We hope that the dialogue process will resume, because all our issues can be resolved through talks."
India had cancelled bilateral talks with Pakistan in the wake of the terror attack on its key Air Force base in the northern Indian town of Pathankot in January this year and asked Islamabad to take prompt action against militants from across the border who were behind the masaccre.
However, Basit said "We are maintaining cooperation on Pathankot, let's hope we'll be able to get to the bottom of that incident."
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week said in an interview with a U.S. newspaper that ties between the two countries could "truly scale great heights" if Pakistan removes the "self-imposed" obstacle of terrorism.
India and Pakistan have fought at least three major wars in the past 60 years over Kashmir, with both claiming stake to the disputed territory. Enditem
