Pakistan PM writes to India’s counterpart to resolve disputes – officials

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan has written to his Indian counterpart, seeking to resolve outstanding disputes between the two nuclear-armed nations, including issues such as the divided region of Kashmir, officials said. The Foreign Ministry’s spokesman, Mohammad Faisal, tweeted Thursday that Khan’s letter reciprocated Indian Premier Narendra Modi’s sentiments earlier this month for a “meaningful and constructive engagement,” AP reports. Khan also asked in his letter that the two countries’ foreign ministers hold a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York later this month. India’s external affairs ministry has responded positively about that meeting.
