Pakistan on Thursday said it “welcomed” the US President-elect Donald Trump's offer to mediate between Pakistan and India on the Kashmir dispute.

Zakaria said Pakistan desires a close relationship with the US, and wishes to further strengthen it.
The US President-elect last month said that if elected, he would be willing to play a mediatory role in addressing the “very, very hot tinderbox” of Kashmir between India and Pakistan.
“If it was necessary, I would do that. If we could get India and Pakistan getting along, I would be honoured to do that. That would be a tremendous achievement… I think if they wanted me to, I would love to be the mediator or arbitrator,” Trump said in the interview.
