The prime minister is in Bishkek for the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).
In an interview to a Russian news outlet a day earlier, the prime minister had once again offered India to resolve all differences through dialogue, which is the only way to sort out issues.
He said there is no way that two nuclear-armed countries should think of resolving differences through military means.
Imran Khan said Kashmir is the main difference between Pakistan and India and both countries should sit on the negotiating table to resolve that issue peacefully.
He said now elections in India are over and both countries should get back on the dialogue table to resolve the Kashmir issue for peace in the region by giving people of Kashmir right of self-determination as guaranteed by the United Nations. He said India cannot subdue voice of the people of Kashmir by using force.
