Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari invited former US President Donald Trump to be actively involved in facilitating India-Pakistan returns to the talks table.
In an interview with the international news agency, Bilawal underlined the importance of India-Pakistan peace talks for regional stability and that these should be centered on the longstanding Kashmir issue.
Bilawal made it clear that while Pakistan is open to dialogue on terrorism, a “meaningful conversation” cannot ignore Kashmir, which remains the heart of the conflict. He warned that India’s approach of using terrorism as a pretext for military aggression is setting a dangerous precedent—one that could plunge the entire South Asian region into turmoil.

“India is trying to normalize a new, hazardous status quo that threatens peace across South Asia,” Bilawal stated. “We cannot let the fate of 1.7 billion people be dictated by faceless non-state actors or one-sided Indian narratives.”
According to AFP, Trump has consistently expressed a desire to avoid nuclear escalation between the two countries and has previously offered to mediate in a neutral setting. Bilawal urged him to follow through on that offer, emphasizing that India-Pakistan peace talks need international support to move forward.

In another interview with a Chinese media platform in New York, Bilawal blamed India for deliberately subverting regional peace by taking unilateral and illegal measures on Pakistani territory. Such aggressive tactics are a blatant breach of international norms and are meant to create conflict rather than enhance cooperation, he asserted.
