ISLAMABAD: Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari is hopeful that disputes related to Siachen and Sir Creek will be resolved "very soon" with India, creating an atmosphere for the two countries to achieve a breakthrough on the long-standing Kashmir issue.

Insisting that his government will not depend on secret diplomacy to resolve outstanding issues with India, Zardari told The News daily he was hopeful the military stand-off on the Siachen glacier and the Sir Creek boundary dispute would be resolved "very soon".

The settlement of these two issues could create an atmosphere of trust in which the two countries could move forward on the Kashmir dispute, he said.

"All the possible solutions on Kashmir will be discussed first in a parliamentary committee on Kashmir and then the final solution will be approved by parliament," he said.
