External Affairs Ministry Spokesman Raveesh Kunar said, it has been India’s consistent position that all outstanding issues with Pakistan are discussed only bilaterally.

The Spokesman added, the Shimla Agreement and the Lahore Declaration provide the basis to resolve all issues between India and Pakistan bilaterally.
