Pakistan on Thursday said it has welcomed an earlier offer of mediation by US president-elect Donald Trump to reduce Indo-Pak tensions as it expressed the desire to work closely with the new Trump administration.
Foreign Office (FO) spokesman Nafees Zakaria said this while responding to questions at the weekly news briefing here about Trump’s victory in the general elections on Wednesday.
“The US President-elect had offered mediation between Pakistan and India on Kashmir dispute during his campaign and we had welcomed that offer,” he said, though reports had not mentioned Trump making a specific mention to Kashmir.
