President of the Pakistan’s ruling party PML-N, Shahbaz Sharif has suggested that India and Pakistan should follow the footsteps of United States and North Korea and resume peace talks, reported the Dawn.
In a series of tweets, Shahbaz, who is the brother of ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif stressed that if North Korea and US can come back from the brink of a nuclear war, there is no reason why India and Pakistan cannot do the same.
“Singapore Summit between the US and North Korea should set a good precedent for Pakistan and India to follow. Ever since the start of Korean War, the two nations have been at odds with one another — both threatening to use military force with their nuclear arsenals facing each other,” Shahbaz said in a tweet on Tuesday.

He further added in another tweet:
If the United States and North Korea can return from the brink of a nuclear flashpoint, there is no reason why Pakistan and India cannot do the same, beginning with a dialogue on Kashmir whose heroic people have resisted and rejected Indian occupation. (2/3)

He also added that talks should resume so that the long pending issue of Kashmir could be resolved.
It’s time for comprehensive peace talks in our region. International community must focus on the peace process in Afghanistan. Dialogue b/w Pakistan & India over Kashmir should also resume, so that the long-festering Kashmir dispute is resolved in accordance with UN resolutions.
