Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf Monday reaffirmed the primacy and centrality of Kashmir dispute for durable peace in South Asia, the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported.

Speaking to leaders form the Pakistan-held Kashmir, Musharraf said Pakistan has a principled stand on Kashmir and asserted that nobody can coerce Pakistan into giving up Kashmir.

"The way forward is finding a lasting and durable solution of Kashmir in accordance with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people," he said.

He said New Delhi should show flexibility for resolving the dispute and expressed the hope that the Indian public opinion would influence their leaders to enter into a dialogue process for durable peace in South Asia.

Musharraf said Pakistan and India should start the dialogue process; accept the centrality of the Kashmir dispute, eliminate whatever unacceptable to the two sides and the Kashmiri people and arrive at a solution acceptable to both countries and the people of Kashmir.
