US to get involved in Indo-Pakistan peace talks, Nikki Haley

In order to de-escalte tension between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue, Nikki Haley said that US could play crucial role in downscaling the tension.

In an effort to de-escalate Indo-Pak tensions, the US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said that the President Donald Trump could play crucial role in downscaling the tension between the two South Asian Countries.

Addressing a press conference after assuming the role of president of the Security Council for the month of April, Haley made remarks that US will find its place to be a part in de-escalating tensions. US can make efforts to get India and Pakistan together for peace talks.

"The tension over Kashmir have risen, over a period of time. The Trump administration is really concerned about the relationship between India and Pakistan. We want to see if something can be done on that part," she said.

"So, I think that will be something that you will see from members of the National Security Council participate and wouldn't be surprised if the president participates in that as well," she added.

The remarks were contradictory to the earlier stance of US government, where it had maintained that Kashmir was a bilateral issue between the two neighbouring states.
