Pakistan has praised US President Donald Trump’s commitment to back peace efforts after days of military confrontations and welcomed his invitation to collaborate with Pakistan and India to find a “solution” for the long-running Kashmir dispute.
As a move towards de-escalation and regional peace, the Foreign Office said in a statement, “We acknowledge with appreciation the constructive role played by the United States, alongside other friendly states, in supporting the recent ceasefire understanding between Pakistan and India.”
Since the end of British colonial authority in 1947, the two nations have fought three wars, two of which have been over the Kashmir region.
Tens of thousands have been slain in the 1989-started insurgency in IIOJK, which New Delhi attributes to Islamabad. It also alleges attacks by groups based in Pakistan.
