"We have seen President Musharraf's remarks on India-Pakistan relations. We are encouraged that Pakistan remains committed to the ongoing dialogue process," External Affairs Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna told reporters in New York on Wednesday after Musharraf's speech at the UNGA, which was marked by absence of strident campaign on Kashmir issue and India-bashing.
