US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the US is "encouraged" by the ongoing talks between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan.
The two countries have fought three wars. Talks that were broken off following the 2008 attacks on Mumbai by Pakistan-based militants have resumed in recent months.
The two countries' foreign ministers are to meet for a new round of talks next week.
Clinton said during a news conference Tuesday that the United States was "encouraged by the dialogue between India and Pakistan." She said talks were "the most pomising approach" to build more confidence between the countries.
