President Pakistan Businessmen and Intellectuals Forum (PBIF), Mian Zahid Hussain, has said that close ties between the US and Pakistan will not only beneficial for the economy but also improve the pace of work on CPEC which will be difficult for India to digest. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan's visit to the US has resulted in great diplomatic achievement for which business community felicitates him.
Mian Zahid Hussain said that masses are expecting more good news in the backdrop of PM's visit to the US but they were also suspected of the role Washington had played in the past. The US has taken note of Indian atrocities in the held-Kashmir and offered mediation which will not only result in peace but it will also lift tens of millions of poor out of poverty, he said. He said that India has again responded negatively on the US offer and pressed on direct negotiations knowing that bilateral parleys have never resulted in resolving disputes.
He said that reasons behind stubborn attitude of Indian leadership are recent trade tensions with the US and declaring BLA as a terrorist organisation by Washington. He said that Trump has not repeated the mantra of 'do more' in the negotiations and acknowledged the role of Pakistan for peace which is a welcome development.
