As tensions continue to escalate in Kashmir, Pakistan's High Commissioner to India, Abdul Basit, says the peace process with India has been suspended.  The next foreign secretaries' meeting has not been scheduled. High-level talks between the two nuclear neighbors were cancelled earlier this year following a deadly attack on an Indian airbase at Pathankot in Punjab state. 

Talks over the disputed Kashmir region have come to a halt... again.

In early January, India and Pakistan agreed to reschedule the meeting, while an investigation into a deadly attack on India's military air base in Pathankot was carried out. 

Now Pakistan's High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit says he hopes the talks will resume.

"I think at present it is suspended. So let us see if we are able to commence the dialogue process. As far as I know there is no meeting schedule between the two foreign secretaries yet," he said.

On January 2nd, six gunmen stormed the Indian Air Force base in Pathankot and killed seven security personnel. 

India accused the Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed. 

Pakistan has since claimed that it has arrested the head of the group, on suspicion his outfit masterminded the attack. 

But that hasn't satisfied India.

"Until we are able to address the issue (of terrorism) effectively, obviously it is hard for us to say that the relationship (with Pakistan) is normal. This is what puts Pakistan in a different category than our other neighbors because it is not an issue that comes up with other neighbors," said Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Indian Foreign Secretary.

Tensions remain high between the rival neighbors.  Commissioner Basit says the Kashmir dispute is the root cause of their mutual distrust.
