A top Pakistani official on Monday urged the international community to observe the dangerous escalation in tensions between Pakistan and India.

"Even if we are not friends, Pakistan does not want tense relations with India," said Sartaj Aziz, advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs and National Security.

"We want dialogue over all contentious issues, including water and Kashmir."

Speaking about recent controversial comments by the Indian leadership, he said such anti-Pakistan statements help vote banks of political parties in India.

"This is why the India-Pakistan situation keeps changing. Therefore, we will not negotiate on India's terms," the advisor added.
