U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will speak soon with his counterparts in India and Pakistan and urge them not to escalate tensions, the State Department said on Tuesday, APA reports citing Reuters.
Washington said on Sunday it was in touch with the nuclear-armed Asian neighbors at multiple levels while urging them to work towards what it called a "responsible solution."
"We are reaching out to both parties, and telling, of course, them to not escalate the situation," a State Department spokesperson told reporters, quoting a statement by Rubio.
Rubio expects to speak to the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan on Tuesday or Wednesday and encouraged other foreign ministers to do the same, the State Department added.
