Kashmir issue: Bhutto favours Shimla pact

Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has favoured resolution of the Kashmir issue in accordance with the Shimla agreement.

''Any settlement of the issue should reflect the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir,'' the Pakistan People's Party leader said at a press conference.

She said her party stood for resolution of the Kashmir issue in accordance with the 1972 Shimla agreement, which calls for its ''final settlement'' through peaceful means.

Bhutto said that India-China model is a good basis for promoting the ties between India and Pakistan.
