US President Trump assured Prime Minister Imran that he would speak to Indian Prime Minister Modi for the ongoing situation in Kashmir.
DAVOS: (Urdu Point/Pakistan Point News-Jan 22, 2020) Prime Minister Imran Khan and US President Donald Trump met on the sidelines of World Economic Forum 2020 being held in the Swiss City.
During their meeting, Trump told Prime Minister Imran Khan that he would speak to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the current situation in Occupied Kashmir.
"What’s going on between Pakistan and India … if we can help, we certainly will be willing to. We have been watching it very closely and it's an honour to be here with my friend," Trump was quoted as saying.
He said: “Fortunately, America and Pakistan are on the same page regarding Afghanistan. Talks are being held between their government and Taliban,”.
“The conflict between India and Pakistan is a very serious issue for us in Pakistan,” said Trump, adding that we expect the US to always play its part in deescalating the tensions, because no other country can," he added.
Answering to a question that whether Trump would visit Pakistan considering he was already set to visit India, he said he was meeting the premier in Davos. "Well, we're visiting right now. So we don't really have to," he added.
“We got a great relationship. From the standpoint our two countries, we're getting along very well. I would say we've never been closer with Pakistan the way we're right now,” said Trump. He went on to say that “ And this is a big statement,”. He is expected to visit India later this month, marking his first visit after taking up his post in the White House.
At Davos 2020, Abdul Razak Dawood and Zulfi Bukhari — the prime minister's advisers on commerce and overseas Pakistanis, respectively — were part of the delegation that met Trump.
