Moscow: After holding talks with Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf, Russian leader Vladimir Putin on February 5 called for resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue to resolve all outstanding issues on the basis of 1972 Shimla Accord and 1999 Lahore Declaration.

Emerging from one-to-one meeting with Musharraf lasting over two hours at the Kremlin, the Russian President said they discussed in details "the search for new ways to resolve Indo-Pak relations and new venues for bilateral and multi-lateral exchange of views."

Putin, although, did not mention whether India's demand for ending cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir figured in the talks but said he wished Musharraf "successes" in fulfilling Pakistan's "all obligations" as a member of anti-terror coalition.

Musharraf, the first-ever Pakistani Head of State to visit Russia in three decades, said Pakistan was firm on seeking a "peaceful" solution of Kashmir issue and favoured an early resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue, Itar-Tass reported.
