"Our position is that Kashmiris are part of the process and they should be able to sit at the table. Since this is not acceptable to India, we are comfortable with the Kashmiris being associated with the peace process through the other means," she said.

"For instance, Kashmir leaders on both sides of the border are interacting with each other. They are interacting with the governments of Pakistan and India and since there are three parties to the disputes, they all have to be on board to resolve it," she said.
