Shares
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the prime minister Imran Khan made it clear to the US president that the region could not afford any other war as any imprudent action would draw drastic consequences.
However, on the prime minister’s offer of playing his role to ease the situation, the US president mandated him to talk with the Iranian leadership.
He said the prime minister would discuss the matter with the Iranian leadership to find a way out. During the Saudi visit too, the prime minister had viewed that the Iran issue should be resolved amicably.
To a question, the foreign minister said President Trump had expressed trust in the prime minister’s leadership and hoped that second interaction was also likely between the two leaders during the visit.
He said during the meeting, Trump had expressed concerns on the human rights violations in the occupied Kashmir.
Qureshi said the world must know that India was the biggest hurdle in the regional peace. Even the Indian society was divided on their government’s actions in Kashmir, he added.
