After 3 wars with India we have learnt our lesson says Pakistan PM

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has offered to hold talks with India to resolve issues such as Kashmir, saying he has asked the leadership of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to help bring the two countries to the negotiating table.

The Pakistan PM made the remarks last week in an interview with Al Arabiya, a news channel based in the UAE. This is the first time Sharif has made such an offer since he came to power last April as the head of a coalition government. Bilateral ties are currently at an all-time low between the two nations following a string of terror attacks blamed on Pakistan-based groups.

Hours after the interview was aired, Pakistan appeared to do a flip-flop, with the Prime Minister’s Office in Islamabad saying on Tuesday that Sharif has repeatedly said talks “can only take place after India had reversed its illegal action of August 5, 2019”– a reference to the scrapping of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.

Sharif told the channel that Pakistan “has learnt its lesson” after three wars with India and now wants to “live in peace with India, provided we are able to resolve our genuine problems.” Pakistan also wants to better use its scarce resources to tackle poverty and unemployment instead of buying military hardware, he added.

“My message to the Indian leadership and Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) is that let’s sit down at the table and have serious and sincere talks to resolve our burning issues like Kashmir, where flagrant violations of human rights are taking place day in and day out,” Sharif said.
