Pak-India ties at "lowest point", hope PM Modi will use his mandate to resolve all issues: PM Imran

TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistan’s relationship with India is probably at its “lowest point”, Prime Minister Imran Khan has said even as he expressed hope that his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi will use his “big mandate” to resolve all differences, including the Kashmir issue.

Khan and Modi are in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek for the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. In an interview to Russian news agency before heading to Bishkek, Khan said the SCO summit provided him an opportunity to speak to the Indian leadership to improve ties between the two neighbours.

Khan said the SCO summit provided Pakistan a “fresh outlet” to develop its relationship with other countries, including India. “At the moment, our bilateral relationship with India is, probably, at its lowest point,” he said. Khan said Pakistan was open for “any kind of mediation” and seeks peace with all its neighbours, especially with India, asserting that the three “small wars” have damaged both the countries that now grapple with the “greatest amount of poverty”.
