'Bilateral issue': Pakistan admits India never sought mediation, rules out outside role

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar acknowledged that India considers the disputes between the two nations as bilateral, stating that Islamabad never sought third-party mediation. Dar mentioned a US official's earlier indication of impending dialogue, which later stalled due to India's stance. Pakistan remains open to comprehensive bilateral discussions encompassing terrorism, trade, economy, and Jammu and Kashmir.
