Chattha informed Aziz that the government-backed Kashmir Committee has decided to send a planeload of relief goods for the earthquake

affected in Jammu and Kashmir, and requested Aziz to use his good offices to facilitate its transportation.

The Pakistan prime minister in turn appreciated the Kashmir Committee's role in highlighting the Kashmir cause, the release said.

'Pakistan was committed to a peaceful, just and equitable solution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the wishes and aspirations of the Kashmiri people,' Aziz said.

He also emphasised the need for all three stakeholders to the Kashmir dispute -- Pakistan, India, and Jammu and Kashmir -- to redouble their efforts to find a durable solution to the Kashmir dispute, the release said.
