India and Pakistan need to keep building a better relationship, the US said today adding that it is for the two countries to decide on the pace and scope of their talks.
"We have always said that we believe they need to keep building a better relationship. They need to work together on these issues, and certainly we hope they will do so," State Department Deputy spokesperson Marie Harf told reporters.
"We've been very clear that this is an issue we think needs to be discussed directly between Pakistan and India," Harf said.
