NEW DELHI, July 21 (Reuters) - The Indian government's peace process with Pakistan is "under stress", the country's foreign secretary said on Monday.

The statement comes after a deadly bomb attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul this month and reports of cross-border firing on the line of control between India and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.

"Unfortunately certain incidents in recent past have vitiated the atmosphere between India and Pakistan. The dialogue process is under stress," Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon told reporters. (Reporting by C.K. Nayak; Editing by Alistair Scrutton)
