Pakistan seeks U.S. help

WASHINGTON, OCT. 14. On the eve of the U.S. Secretary of State, Gen. Colin Powell's visit to the subcontinent, Pakistan today sought Washington's help to resume Indo-Pak. dialogue to resolve the Kashmir issue.

``The U.S. along with other members of the U.N. Security Council can help recommence a dialogue between Pakistan and India so that we, with the rest of the world community, can attempt to arrive at a solution acceptable to the people of Pakistan,'' the Pakistan Foreign Minister, Mr. Abdul Sattar, told ABC TV.

``I think that is the bottom line. A solution has to be acceptable to Kashmir, has to be acceptable to the people of Kashmir.''

Mr. Sattar parried a question about the U.S. view that Kashmir is ``the most dangerous place in the world today''. He did not say as to what role Pakistan was likely to ask Gen. Powell to play in the region.
