PM thanks Trump for hospitality, says Pakistan 'will do everything' to facilitate Afghan peace
185
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday thanked US President Donald Trump for hosting him at the White House with "gracious hospitality" a day earlier and assured his American counterpart that Pakistan "will do everything within its power" to facilitate the process aimed at ending Afghanistan's nearly 18-year war.
Taking to Twitter, the premier also appreciated Trump for "his understanding of Pakistan's point of view", "his wonderful way of putting our entire delegation at ease" and for showing him around the White House.
"I want to assure President Trump Pakistan will do everything within its power to facilitate the Afghan peace process," he wrote, adding that the world owed it to the people of Afghanistan to bring about peace after four decades of conflict.
Imran also said he was "surprised" by the reaction given by India to President Trump's offer to mediate between Pakistan and India to enable dialogue for resolving the Kashmir conflict.
"Generations of Kashmiris have suffered & are suffering daily and need conflict resolution," the prime minister stressed, noting that the Kashmir dispute has held the subcontinent hostage for 70 years.
His comment came hours after India's foreign ministry denied Trump had been asked by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to mediate the Kashmir conflict with Pakistan.
“We have seen President Trump's remarks to the press that he is ready to mediate, if requested by India and Pakistan, on the Kashmir issue. No such request has been made by Prime Minister Modi to the US President,” said Raveesh Kumar, official spokesman of India's Ministry of External Affairs.
"It has been India's consistent position that all outstanding issues with Pakistan are discussed only bilaterally."
While speaking to the press alongside Trump at the White House, Prime Minister Imran had said that the US, being "the most powerful" country in the world, could play the most important role in bringing peace to the subcontinent.
In response, Trump said that India had also asked him to mediate.
"I was with Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi two weeks ago. We talked about the subject and he actually said, 'Would you like to be a mediator or arbitrator?'. I said where, he said Kashmir, because it has been going on for many, many years.
"I was surprised to know how long it has been going on. I think they would like to see it resolved, you [Pakistan] would like to see it resolved [...] and if I can help, I would love to become a mediator," said Trump.
In a separate tweet on Tuesday, Prime Minister Imran thanked the Pakistani-American community "for showing up in such large numbers" at the Capital One Arena in Washington DC to welcome him on his maiden visit to the US after assuming office.
Pompeo calls on PM Imran
Also on Tuesday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on Prime Minister Imran at Pakistan House in Washington DC.
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Foreign Secretary Sohail Mehmood and Ambassador of Pakistan to US Dr Asad Majeed Khan were present during the meeting, the Government of Pakistan said in a tweet.

Hazaron saal nargis apni bey noori pe rooti hai

Countries nurture relations keeping interests in mind. I value you for what you bring to table and not what you wear or look like when you sit across table.
What can Pakistan offer apart from a role in bringing Taliban to negotiation table. Can Pakistan place large orders for US manufacturing industries, answer is no. Can Pakistan tilt towards US against China, answer is not. After this visit is over, US State department will do the balancing act and issue some "do more Pakistan" statements to smoothen the ruffled feathers with India. Just wait.

Those pictures speak for themselves. Ten thousand words and more. PM Imran Khan has once again brought back grace, elegance, respect to Pakistan. The last time PAKs had such an international stature and recognition was in the times of FM Ayub Khan. Alhamdollilah!

Couple of notable incidences in recent times:
1. PM IK praising US using words like most powerful country on planet.
2. China not backing Pakistan during major incidences.
3. China- US trade war.
4. Trump tweeting against India for trade imbalance just like China.
5. China investing more in India via its Huawei mission.
6. China talking about focus on removing roadblocks with India.
7. India - Iran - Russia relationship.
8. US - Iran tension.
Looks like water is finding it's natural path. I don't have to be explicit in my words.

I sincerely wish Imran Khan to be successful in trying to make Pakistan a peaceful country and bring stability to a region that has lost many lives unfortunately. As an Indian it will be positive thing if there is a economically stronger Pakistan. Once people are uplifted from poverty and see that their country is heading in the right direction their thoughts will be vested in nation building. Hopefully peace returns to Afghanistan as well and see that country prosper as well.Good Luck!

What US officials used to tell Pakistan to do publicly, Trump told Imran Khan in the White House.
Other than that there are no tangible outcomes of visit. No MoU, agreements, concrete investment proposals, tax reliefs, visa relaxations, financial aid, technology or trade agreements, private deals were signed.
It is just that the relationship is give and take with reference to Afghanistan. Pakistan has nothing in its arsenal that would endear it to the US. Close relationship with China is another eyesore for US and US would never like an ally of China be strong. Once out of Afghanistan, US would never care for Pakistan.
