We are in regular contact with the Indian Government regarding the situation in Kashmir. The Foreign Secretary most recently spoke about Kashmir with Indian External Affairs Minister Jaishankar on 20 April. We welcome reports that some restrictions on communications have now been relaxed, but remain concerned that other restrictions remain in place. We call for these to be lifted as soon as possible.
