Pakistan`s decisions to sign a cooperation agreement with Turkey and a mutual defence assistance agreement with the United States. were evidence of their increased participation in a common front against communism. The United States has continued to make clear its view that the Kashmir issue should be resolved by mutual agreement between India and Pakistan. Following the Indian protest against the presence of American members in the United Nations Observer Group on Kashmir, our Ambassador told the Indian Government that we had explained to the Secretary-General of the United Nations that, although the UNITED States Government acknowledges its responsibility for the decision, the United States has no interest in maintaining American observers in Kashmir, because the effectiveness of the current observation system in Kashmir is not affected.
