Erdoğan, Guterres discuss India-Pakistan tension

ANKARA- Anadolu Agency

Turkish president and U.N. secretary general spoke over the phone on March 8 to discuss recent developments at India-Pakistan border, said the Directorate of Communications of Turkish Presidency.     

Tensions between the two nuclear-armed rivals escalated after a suicide attack last month on an army convoy in Indian-administered Kashmir, which killed at least 40 Indian troops. India accused Pakistan of being involved in the attack, a charge Islamabad denies.     

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Antonio Guterres also discussed the latest situation in Syria, said the statement from the presidency.
