United States President-elect Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would love to visit Pakistan.

“Trump said he would love to come to a fantastic country, fantastic place of fantastic people,” a statement issued by the PM House said. Prime Nawaz Sharif phoned Trump to felicitate him for becoming the 46th president of the United States after the November elections.

Resolution of conflicts

Hinting at playing a mediator in resolving the longstanding dispute between Islamabad and New Delhi, the US president-elect said he was ready to play any role to find solutions to the outstanding problems. “It will be an honour and I will personally do it.”

stevenson | 8 years ago | Reply @Khansahib: If you read US media or watch US TV, most observers accept that Trump did say what Nawaz says. It's a sign which encouraged Muslims in US and in the Muslim world that Trump is not as bad as he pretends when he says he wants to stop Muslims. This is what CNN commentators said yesterday.

Khansahib | 8 years ago | Reply And now Trump team has denied this account-basically saying that polite conversation is not the same as outline of state policy. Pakistan government has an egg on their face which they smashed themselves. As the joker would say- Pakistan, why so desperate?

Humza | 8 years ago | Reply @Erfan Shakir: Perhaps you don't know that Pakistanis have the reputation of being the most generous people by way of donations in the US. While in the US, Pakistanis enjoy a much better better reputation than any other Muslim group and people are familiar with the large expatriate professional class of Pakistanis.Pakistani Americans are part of the very fabric of American society and contribute politically, economically, academically and socially. Unlike in Europe, most immigrants including Pakistanis are skilled immigrants who did not smuggle there as refugees so they have skills and pay taxes like other citizens.

Farrukh | 8 years ago | Reply Fake story. Either the Pm Gone nuts or trump is drunk.

Malik Saab | 8 years ago | Reply @Malik: Pakistan is in danger because of the naive people like you. Our forex reserves are in American Dollars. The world's economy revolves around US. The world's best Army belong from America. American GDP is still the highest in the world. 80 percent of the innovations are emerging from there in the IT sector. And you are telling that we are better off without Trump or America?. Infact we are worse off without America. Be realistic. It is not some Gujjar movie where you have to challenge everyone and fight with everyone. If Donald Trump who is now the President of the World's powerful country is inviting us, then we should be friends with them at all costs.
