Korean Peninsula: AJK president says rapprochement revives hope for solution of Kashmir dispute

Noting the breakthrough between the United States and nuclear-capable North Korea to avert confrontation, AJK President Sardar Masood Khan has expressed the hope that Kashmir dispute would find a political solution to ensure lasting stability in South Asia.
Speaking at a day-long event of the Pakistani American Congress here at the Capitol Hill, the AJK President also called on the US and Pakistan to resolve their periodic differences and use their history of cooperation spanned over 70 years to find ways of working together for common goals.
The President was the Chief Guest at the event organized by Pakistani American Congress (PAC) to commemorate the 27th Annual Pakistan-US Friendship Day at the US Capitol Hill, Washington DC. Ambassador Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry and a number of US Congressmen also attended and addressed the event.
AJK President said that Pakistan and the United States had been great allies in the past and they must strive once again to bring their relationship back on track. He recalled that the partnership of the two countries during the Cold War, Afghan War in the 1980s and the War against Terrorism has left a rich legacy of cooperation and collaboration.
