NEW YORK, Aug 02 (APP): Prime Minister Imran Khan’s groundbreaking visit to the United States continues to draw comments from analysts who underline the Pakistani leader’s diplomatic skills in rebuilding relations between the two countries, while highlighting President Donald Trump’s offer to mediate the lingering Kashmir dispute.
“This is big,” Adil Najam, professor of international relations and a dean at Boston University’s School of Global Studies, wrote in The Hill, an American newspaper that focuses on Congressional activities, about Trump’s offer, the first-ever by a US president to help resolve the 71-year-old dispute between India and Pakistan.
“One cannot imagine any universe in which trying to resolve this most dangerous, most enduring and most intractable of disputes between two very volatile and nuclear-armed rivals would be a bad thing,” Najam said. “Moreover, whatever one may think of Donald Trump, he could be just the person to give it a try.”
