What is HBC doing poking its nose into this matter. This is what the Foreign Office have to say about it.

Country Profile: Pakistan

UK Position on Kashmir

The long standing position of the UK is that it is for India and Pakistan to find a lasting resolution to the situation in Kashmir, one which takes into account the wishes of the Kashmiri people. It is not for the UK to prescribe a solution or to mediate in finding one. We welcome the positive steps being taken by Pakistan and India to build trust and confidence.

We remain committed to our engagement in a practical way through the UK Government’s Conflict Pool, which continues to fund a number of projects designed to assist those in India, Pakistan and on both sides of the Line of Control with efforts to facilitate dialogue and address the causes and impact of conflict in the region.
