UNITED NATIONS: Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the meeting between leaders of Pakistan and India at UN Headquarters in New York on Monday, a UN spokesman said.

“He (Secretary-General) welcomed the recent talks held between Pakistan and India,” Spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
The spokesman added, “He (Secretary-General) thanked India for its significant contribution to United Nations peacekeeping operations and its generous assistance to development of Afghan security, economic and human capacities.”
“He also discussed developments in Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Myanmar, stressing the importance of dialogue, inclusiveness and reconciliation, as well as India's regional role.”
