US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti has drawn parallels between the American delegation visiting Kashmir during G20 meetings and the US Ambassador to Pakistan David Blome’s visit to Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir (POK).

“It’s not my place to react to the US Ambassador in Pakistan but he’s been before and we obviously had part of our delegation in Jammu and Kashmir during the G20 as well,” Garcetti said on the sidelines of the 20th Indo-US Economic Summit.

“This is an issue that has to be resolved between India and Pakistan and not by a third party, including the US,” he added.

Garcetti’s comments were prompted by US Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blome’s recent multi-day visit to POK’s Gilgit-Baltistan.
