Heart Of Asia Conference: Iran offers mediation between Pakistan-India
NEW DELHI: Iran has offered to negotiate and mediate between Pakistan and India provided both agree to it.

 

Iran said on Saturday it was willing to mediate between Islamabad and New Delhi on the issue of Kashmir, if both the neighbouring states wanted so.

 

The offer was made by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in New Delhi, who noted that his country enjoyed cordial relations with both Pakistan and India, and its bond with both the countries was important.

 

“We cannot lose that. That bond is too important, both with India and Pakistan. We hope for the best of both countries. If Iran can be of any help, we stand ready, we are not volunteering, we stand ready,” he told Indian media.
