The spokesman for Mr Guterres, Stephane Dujarric, stated that the world body could be used to mediate between the two nations, but that an agreement would be needed to allow UN interference.
He said: “The Secretary-General would encourage both sides to address any outstanding issues through dialogue.
“We’re obviously aware. We’re following this…what’s been going on, really for the last 10 days.
“In principle, good offices of Guterres are always available for mediation, but everyone needs to agree on involving the UN.
“As a matter of principle I’m not talking specifically about this issue, but about an issue where there is conflict between parties, the Secretary-General’s good offices are always available.
“As in any issue, both parties or more than… you know, if there are multiple parties, everyone needs to agree on involving the UN. That is true of any mediation effort.”
Conflicts between India and Pakistan have escalated recently with the former being forced to evacuate “over 36,000” people from areas along its border to escape heavy shelling.
The attacks from Pakistan have demolished buildings and killed cattle as tensions soar between the two nations.
A top separatist leader in Kashmiri, Syed Ali Geelani, recently warned that a nuclear war between India and Pakistan “could be devastating for the whole world”.
Mr Geelani called for the two to “play a constructive role for peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue” as the two launch horrifying attacks along the contested border known as the Line of Contorl (LoC).
He added: “The risk of collision between the two nuclear powers will be devastating not only for the region but for the whole world.”
Most of the conflict between the two nations has taken place in the boundary separating the Indian-controlled region of Kashmir and the Pakistan province of Punjab.
However, the conflict is escalating to the more contentious zone of the LoC – the region of Kashmir is split into two nations by the border.
Meanwhile, Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, recently blasted a recent US drone strike that took place in its territory following an attack on an “Afghan refugee” camps in the region of Kurram.
In a move that will surely add to the country’s apparent deteriorating relations with the rest of the world, Islamabad labelled the strike as “detrimental to the spirit of cooperation between the two countries in the fight against terrorism.”
America justified its intervention by stating that it “regularly conducts offensive operations within the borders of Afghanistan with the intent of bringing security and stability not only to Afghanistan but also the entire region”.
The attack targeted members of the Haqqani network, a group allied with the Taliban by launching two devastating missiles at a house.
An intelligence official added: “Two militants from Haqqani network were killed in the drone attack.”
In a move that will surely hurt Pakistan, the US announced earlier this month that it would cease $2billion (£1.4billion) in security aid to the country after it accused it of failing to crackdown on terror groups.
