Russia has once again said that Pakistan must stop exporting terrorism to India.

"Dialogue between the two countries could be resumed given Pakistan meets its obligations to bar terrorists from crossing the Line of Control into Jammu and Kashmir, and to liquidate terrorist infrastructure," Russian foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Yakovenko said on Monday.

Yakovenko's comments came after Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf was quoted as saying that during his visit beginning Tuesday he would seek Russia's help in resolving the Kashmir issue.

"In its bilateral contacts with Pakistan, Russia lays emphasis on the situation in South Asia. In our opinion, normalisation of India-Pakistan relations would meet the interests of these countries, strengthen stability and security in the South Asian subcontinent," Yakovenko was quoted as saying by government-run RIA Novosti agency.
