NEW YORK – Prime Minister Imran Khan’s groundbreaking visit to the UnitedStates continues to draw comments from analysts who underline the Pakistanileader’s diplomatic skills in rebuilding relations between the twocountries, while highlighting President Donald Trump’s offer to mediate thelingering Kashmir dispute.
“This is big,” Adil Najam, professor of international relations and a deanat Boston University’s School of Global Studies, wrote in The Hill, anAmerican newspaper that focuses on Congressional activities, about Trump’soffer, the first-ever by a US president to help resolve the 71-year-olddispute between India and Pakistan.
“One cannot imagine any universe in which trying to resolve this mostdangerous, most enduring and most intractable of disputes between two veryvolatile and nuclear-armed rivals would be a bad thing,” Najam said.“Moreover, whatever one may think of Donald Trump, he could be just theperson to give it a try.”
