Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday received a royal reception during his brief stopover in Doha on his way back home after concluding his maiden visit to the United States as premier, which is being hailed as ‘highly successful’ by foreign affairs experts.
Qatari Prime Minister Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani welcomed his Pakistani counterpart at Hamd International Airport.
PM’s Adviser on Commerce and Trade Razzaq Dawood, Special Assistant on Overseas Pakistanis Zulfiqar Bukhari and Secretary Foreign Affairs Sohail Mehmood are also accompanying the premier.
After a brief meeting at the airport, the two sides also held detailed discussions at the Qatari premier’s residence. Matters pertaining to improve bilateral ties and friendship between the two brotherly countries were discussed at the meeting.
During his stay in Washington, the premier held talks with US President Donald Trump, interacted with Congressional leaders and addressed a think tank.
PM Imran concludes US trip
Before the visit, everyone was expecting the issue of Afghanistan to dominate the discussions. It certainly did, but only a few had expected that Kashmir and Pakistan-India relationship would steal the limelight.
The biggest success of the trip was that not only President Trump praised Pakistan’s efforts for facilitating the Afghan peace talks, but he also offered to mediate on the Kashmir dispute. What came as a shock to everyone was Trump’s revelation that Modi himself had recently requested him to mediate between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir issue.
PM Imran pulls off a PR coup in US
His statement stirred uproar in India, which was quick to reject Trump’s claim that Modi had requested mediation. The controversy echoed in the Indian parliament where the opposition sought a personal clarification from Modi despite the Indian external affairs ministry’s denial.
It is undoubtedly a PR victory for Pakistan because India, under the Modi regime, has been working to isolate Pakistan globally for quite some time. The Indian media proudly claims that the Trump administration favours New Delhi over Islamabad.
