In his meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan in Davos, United States President Donald Trump assured he would visit Pakistan soon, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Wednesday.

Qureshi said several "important issues" were discussed in the hour-long "productive" meeting between Trump and Prime Minister Imran. The foreign minister said he was also present during the meeting, which was attended by Trump's "entire team".

Qureshi said the premier informed Trump of measures taken by Pakistan to get off the Financial Action Task Force's grey list and also asked for US support on the matter. The premier also asked for improvements in US' travel advisory to Pakistan, Qureshi added.

Prime Minister Imran also discussed the ongoing human rights violations in occupied Kashmir and Trump agreed that the "Kashmir dispute should have a solution".

Trade was also discussed during the meeting and it was decided that a US trade delegation will visit Pakistan, the foreign minister said. He did not specify when the visit will take place, though.

The premier also conveyed Islamabad's concerns over increasing tensions between the US and Iran and the impact of a confrontation on Pakistan. Both leaders also discussed the ongoing peace talks with Afghan Taliban.

President Trump, in a press talk before his meeting with Prime Minister Imran on Tuesday, had reiterated his long-standing offer to mediate on the Kashmir dispute between Pakistan and India, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum assembly in Davos.

This was the third time the two world leaders had met since the premier assumed office in July 2018.

On Tuesday, before the meeting with PM Imran, Trump had said that the United States has never been as close to Pakistan as it is right now.

The US president, while referring to Prime Minister Imran as his friend, had also said he would speak to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the Kashmir issue. “We’re talking about Kashmir [...] if we can help, we certainly will be helping. We’ve been watching that and following it very, very closely,” said Trump.

Prime Minister Imran, on the other hand, had said he would talk to President Trump on the situation in Afghanistan.

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Wednesday said US President Donald Trump assured Prime Minister Imran Khan that he would visit Pakistan soon during a meeting on the sidelines of the ongoing World Economic Forum in Davos.

In a series of tweets, the foreign minister termed the third meeting between the two leaders ‘good’ and added they discussed ways to strengthen the bilateral relationship. He added that there was a special focus on trade and investment.

Elaborating on the meeting between the premier and the US president, the foreign minister said the meeting lasted an hour and several “important issues” were discussed with Trump and his “entire team”.

Referring to the Financial Action Task Force’s grey list, Qureshi said PM Imran informed the US side of Islamabad’s efforts and further asked for relaxation of US travel advisory on Pakistan.

The meeting also discussed the issue of Kashmir and the US president agreed that “there should be a solution” for the decades-long dispute.

The prime minister also conveyed Islamabad’s concerns over increasing tensions in the Persian Gulf region and the impact any conflict would have on Pakistan.

An end to the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan was also discussed during the meeting.

Earlier, ahead of talks with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, Trump had said trade and borders were both critical points for discussion, while the premier had said that for him Afghanistan was the top priority.


This was the third meeting of the two leaders in less than a year amid reports that the US and Afghan Taliban are close to striking a peace deal after over yearlong painstaking process.

At Davos, the other engagements of the prime minister Imran include his keynote address at the World Economic Forum’s Special Session and his interaction at the Pakistan Strategy Dialogue with CEOs and corporate leaders. On the sidelines, Imran is scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with several world leaders.


“Throughout his engagements in Davos, Prime Minister Imran Khan will share Pakistan’s vision and achievements in the areas of the economy, peace and stability, trade, business and investment opportunities,” according to the Foreign Office.

He will also highlight the current situation in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan’s perspective on key regional and international issues, the statement added.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the WEF, which runs until Thursday. The theme for this year’s gathering is ‘Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable World’.

At the three-day prestigious event, political leaders, business executives, heads of international organisations and civil society representatives from around the world will deliberate on contemporary economic, geopolitical, social and environmental issues.

Let that come from US side. Qureshi has a habit of taking a courtesy nod as a formal acceptance. In process, he'll embarass the country when the other side says not right now rather curtly.

Last time in 2006 when Bush visited both India and Pakistan in 1 trip, funnily gambling markets in India, Sri Lanka & Nepal opened bets on 'Which country US President will soend more time in, India or Pakistan?' And fecieved more than 100 crores of betting money
Guess another good time for them.

Because you are irrelevant to this discussion. Curry jerk.

LOL this RSS curry jerk is now going to reveal to us what the truth is. Moron.

Dude, why do you need to attack him personally just because he said something logical which any one of us could have said as well?

LOL at logical. Don't be stupid.

You take the word of some irrelevant Pakistan hating RSS warmonger over the word of your FM?

Explain this great logic of yours.

By the way, I would have said the same to any patwari on our side. To me an Indian and patwari are the same thing.

 

[War Thunder]

LOL at logical. Don't be stupid.

You take the word of sone irrelevant Pakistan hating RSS warmonger over the word of your FM?

Explain.

I am taking his logic which makes "logical" sense.
Trump is an asshole who changes in minutes.
What if he says no such thing was ever discussed then what?

And he must be an RSS warmonger just because your perspective does not align with his?

I don't give a shite what Trump says or thinks.

To me the word of our FM counts more than just some jack a-s-s RSS worshipper.

It is funny you find more logic in the words of some irrelevant Indian moron. It seems that the announcement by our FM is illogical to you LOL Go figure.

No its your hatred driven absence of logic is what I find problematic.
Anything blind is a problem and your blind hatred clouding your sense of logic in this case. What do you prefer, a forum here with no criticism from Indians, and just those who praise you and your country in general? Where does that take any of us?


I bash india and indians plenty of times. I bash china as well and the same for arabs. And my country and its dumb people above all. But not without reason.
Here you are insulting him and calling him names over nothing but a comment which is fine in every way and perspective.

There you go, but we already knew since our FM confirmed it.

No its your hatred driven absence of logic is what I find problematic.

Don't put words in my mouth. Just because I cuss Indians doesn't mean it is blind hate. It is by design and meant to deter RSS BS. I have never demanded priase for Pakistan from foreigners or Indians. They are allowed to be critical, but that is not what Indians are here for. You know this too.

There is absolutely zero logic to that little RSS jerk who started trolling and sowing doubt regarding our FM. I am not going to take this lightly.

You have made yourself clear. You would rather believe the words of a RSS schmuck and undermine the words of your FM. That much is clear.

If we choose your civil way of discussion this forum would become a RSS jungle. It was once upon a time and we know what went on. These RSS freaks seek control and that is not what we are going to give them.
