ISLAMABAD: The US President Donald Trump’s offer to mediate between Islamabad and New Delhi to resolve the core issue of Kashmir has been warmly welcomed by the Pakistani government and local and international dignitaries following days of intense military clashes that brought the two nuclear-armed neighbors to the verge of full-scale war.
Political analysts have widely praised the offer, which they regard as a potential turning point that marks a major change in the focus of international attention on the region’s most contentious dispute.
The US president’s readiness to back initiatives to settle the protracted Kashmir conflict, which has significant ramifications for peace and security in South Asia and beyond, was also valued by Pakistan.
