U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken speaks after his meeting with Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari at the State Department in Washington, U.S., September 26, 2022.
"In our discussions today, we talked about the importance of managing a responsible relationship with India," Blinken said after meeting Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, without elaborating.
"The relationship we have with India stands on its own; the relationship we have with Pakistan stands on its own," Price told a news conference.
"We also want to do everything we can to see to it that these neighbours have relations with one another that are as constructive as can be possible."
Nuclear-armed India and Pakistan have fought three wars, mainly over the Muslim-majority Himalayan region of Kashmir.
