Talking to a private news channel, he said the international community now considered that Kashmir issue if not resolved could become a 'nuclear flashpoint' between India and Pakistan.

The world leaders wanted that the longstanding dispute should be resolved through dialogue, he added.

Sheikh Rashid said India could not suppress the Kashmiri struggle for their right to self-determination, which had been going on for the last 72 years.

He said China was fully supporting Pakistan on the lingering issue.

"War is considered the last option, when all diplomatic channels fail to resolve any dispute", he added.
