TIL Desk/World/Washington/ India and Pakistan were “pretty close” to resolving the Kashmir issue, in phases, during the regime of then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and military ruler Gen Pervez Musharraf, Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Tuesday.
“They came pretty close on resolving the Kashmir issue, phased movement referendum during the time of Vajpayee,” Khan said in response to a question during his appearance at the US Institute of Peace, a US-Congress funded think-tank.
He, however, refrained from elaborating on the solution, saying it’s a sensitive issue. But he insisted that Kashmir is the “bone of contention” between India and Pakistan.
Khan said Pakistan’s “top priority is to build good relationships with our neighbours” apart from putting an end to corruption and building strong institutions. “We must have stability in our region,” he said. He said that after coming to power, he first tried to reach out to India.
