Pakistan welcomes Trump’s offer to mediate in Kashmir dispute

Pakistan welcomed US President Donald Trump's statement on Pakistan-India relations, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
According to the Foreign Office spokesperson, we appreciate the constructive role of friendly countries, including the US, in the ceasefire agreement. 
The spokesperson said the ceasefire agreement is an important step towards reducing tension and stability in the region, and US President Trump's support for the resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is valuable. 
The issue of Jammu and Kashmir has serious consequences for peace and security in South Asia and beyond, the spokespersons said, adding that a lasting solution to Kashmir is subject to UN resolutions and the right of the Kashmiri people to self-determination. 
The spokesperson further stated that Pakistan is committed to cooperating with the US and the international community for regional peace, security, and prosperity. 
Pakistan and the US are looking forward to further expansion of trade, investment, and economic cooperation, the spokesperson added.
Earlier today, US President Donald Trump offered to help resolve the Kashmir dispute, expressing willingness to work with both Pakistan and India. 
In a message posted on social media platform X on Sunday, President Trump stated, “I will work together with Pakistan and India to help resolve the Kashmir issue.”
He also expressed interest in expanding trade ties with both neighbouring nuclear power countries, calling the recent ceasefire a critical step toward de-escalation.
“The leadership of both Pakistan and India understands that it's time to stop the fighting,” Trump said, adding that continued conflict could have led to massive destruction and loss of life.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan acknowledged the Trump administration’s role in facilitating the ceasefire. In a tweet, he praised the agreement as “the beginning of a wider movement towards peace, prosperity, and stability in the region.”
He expressed Pakistan’s gratitude to President Trump, along with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, for their “leadership and proactive role” in bringing about this outcome.
“Pakistan appreciates the United States for facilitating this outcome, which we have accepted in the interest of regional peace and stability,” Sharif wrote.
