Canada [Images] has asserted that its position on Kashmir hasn't changed and that the issue could be resolved only through dialogue between India and Pakistan.

Replying to a question in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon said: "Canada has not deviated from its approach that supports efforts by both India and Pakistan to resolve Kashmir and other issues through the composite dialogue process."

"We want to see the Kashmir issue resolved through peaceful means," Lawrence said.
