US President Donald Trump to visit Pakistan soon: PM Imran Khan
Islamabad, July 26 (IBNS): Pakistan PM Imran Khan has said during a Cabinet meeting that US President Donald Trump will visit his nation soon, media reports said.
According to media reports, he called his visit to the US as 'successful'.
According to sources, the premier took the Cabinet into confidence regarding extending an invitation to Trump to visit Pakistan, reported Geo News.
Imran Khan visited the US for three days recently.
This was his maiden US visit since taking charge as the PM of the nation after scripting a landslide victory in the general polls last year.
Apart from Trump, Imran Khan met US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, members of the US Congress, among others.
Trump's Kashmir comment during Imran Khan's visit:
Earlier reports said US President Donald Trump has offered to help resolve the Kashmir issue between India and Pakistan during his meeting with Pakistan President Imran Khan in Washington.
Hosting Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan at the White House on Monday, Trump said: “If I can help, I would love to be a mediator.” “If I can do anything to help, let me know,” he added, according to reports.
"I was with Prime Minister Modi two weeks ago and we talked about this subject and he actually said 'Would you like to be a mediator or arbitrator', I said 'Where', He said 'Kashmir'. Because this has been going on for many, many years... I think they would like to see it resolved and you (Imran Khan) would like to see it resolved. If I can help, I would love to be a mediator," President Trump said at the joint media briefing with Imran Khan.
The US has held for long that the Kashmir issue should be sorted by India and Pakistan bilaterally.
India rejects:
Rubbishing US President Donald Trump's claim, External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar told the Parliament on Tuesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi never sought help from the American President to resolve the Kashmir issue with Pakistan.
Addressing the Rajya Sabha, the lower house of the parliament, Jaishankar said: "It should be clear that Prime Minister Narendra Modi didn't seek help from Donald Trump over the Kashmir issue. We will discuss the issue with Pakistan only bilaterally. Talks can only take place if the cross-border terrorism ends."
