虽然许多善意的第三方主张巴基斯坦与印度进行双边对话，以解决查谟和克什米尔争端，但印度国防部长于 2019 年 8 月 18 日拒绝这种双边对话，并公然无视安全理事会各项决议和印度自己过去作出的承诺，声称如果与巴基斯坦举行双边会谈，会谈将仅限于阿扎德查谟和克什米尔。这证实需要第三方的干预，特别是安全理事会的干预，以处理和解决查谟和克什米尔争端。
While many well-meaning third parties advocate bilateral dialogue between Pakistan and India to resolve the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, the Indian Defence Minister, on 18 August 2019, rejected such bilateral dialogue and, in flagrant disregard of the Security Council resolutions and India’s own past commitments, asserted that bilateral talks with Pakistan, if held, would be limited to Azad Jammu and Kashmir only. This affirms the requirement for intervention by third parties, especially the Security Council, to address and resolve the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.
