Senior UN official urges all sides in the Maldives to pursue dialogue
A senior United Nations official urged all sides in the Maldives to exercise restraint and pursue dialogue after he arrived in the Indian Ocean archipelago late today for talks, just days after the country's president resigned amid mounting political tensions.
The UN has asked India and Pakistan to de-escalate tension through dialogue and respect the ceasefire along the Line of Control in the wake of the killing of two Indian soldiers during an attack by Pakistani troops.
