PAKISTAN'S foreign minister has called for talks with her Indian counterpart to ease tensions over deadly clashes in the disputed Kashmir region.

Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said in New York that 10 days of fighting over the unofficial border had "created questions" but added that Pakistan was "open" to dialogue between the foreign ministers to end the dispute.

Khar spoke as India's military said it had reached an "understanding" with Pakistan to "de-escalate" tensions in Kashmir, which has been the cause of two of the three wars between the neighbours since 1947.

Pakistan says three of its troops have died in three incidents since January 6.

India says two of its soldiers have been killed, one of them beheaded, in hostilities along the Line of Control (LOC) frontier in the Himalayan region.

Khar, who on Tuesday accused India of "warmongering", was again critical of tough Indian statements made as tensions have risen again. But she again called for dialogue.

"Unfortunately this LOC incident has obviously created questions, but we still believe that dialogue must be the means to resolve this or any issue," Khar said at the Council on Foreign Relations think-tank.

"We will be open to a discussion, a dialogue, at the level of the foreign ministers to be able to resolve the issue of cross-LOC incidents and to re-commit ourselves to the respect for the ceasefire."

Khar added that "Pakistan is fully committed" to a Kashmir ceasefire agreed to in 2003.
