IMHO its IK's Liberal educational upbringing being reflected here. He studied in Britain and even in Pakistan attended institutions of education modeled on the Anglo worldview of "muh world peace" and "muh humanitarianism" (although there are inconsistencies in his foreign policy, like his security assurances to Saudi regime after news broke out about potential involvement of Saudi higher-ups in the brutal torture and murder of Khashoggi and thus drawing heat from Americans).
But who knows! Maybe IK is putting up a facade of "friendship" on the surface while prepping to heat up the Kashmiri independence resistance? Maybe he's a closeted Machiavellian and he's just too damn good at hiding it?
