Pakistan and India should live like "good neighbours" and resolve all issues including Kashmir through dialogue, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said here on Saturday.
"I raised the issue of Kashmir in the UN with courage and spoke out my heart (over the issue). I also gave a proposal to India to improve ties with Pakistan.
"We (India and Pakistan) should live like good neighbours and find out a solution to the Kashmir issue," Sharif said while talking to reporters at the Governor's House here.
The prime minister said he told the United Nations that it was its resolution on Kashmir and not that of Pakistan therefore it was the body's duty to implement it.
"I spoke the truth while looking into their eyes. The UN should realise itself and implement its resolution on Kashmir," he said.
In his address last week at the United Nations General Assembly, Sharif had proposed a four-point formula to improve ties with India.
He proposed demilitarisation of Kashmir, immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Indian troops from Siachen, resumption of composite dialogue and formalisation of border ceasefire.
The premier further said: "We have laid a foundation of strong ties with Afghanistan. We really worked hard to bring (Afghan) Taleban on negotiation table.
