PM Modi, US President Trump meet in New York

September 24, 2019 21:58

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump hold a meeting at the UN Headquarters.

PM Modi says, "I am thankful to Trump that he came to Houston. He is my friend but he is also a good friend of India."

Ahead of a bilateral meeting with Modi on Tuesday, Trump has once again offered to mediate between India and Pakistan to resolve the long-standing issue of Jammu and Kashmir. "I think as far as Pakistan is concerned, India, their talking, I'm certainly willing to help. I think they would in a certain way like my help. But they have to both want it. They have very different views and I'm concerned about it," Trump said.

The US president's remarks came after his arrival at the UN General Assembly in New York.

The ties between India and Pakistan were further strained after the Centre last month revoked Kashmir's special status accorded to it by Article 370 of the Constitution. While India has maintained that the issue is internal, Pakistan has been approaching various world bodies.
