Nepal offer to play the key role in solving the rift between India and Pakistan

Kathmandu: Neighbor Country Nepal had come forward and offer to play the role of mediator between India and Pakistan to solve the issues. It said on Saturday that it was important for the two countries to have dialogue to resolve their issues.
A source of Nepal government said, “Dialogue is the best way to resolve any problem. There may be differences but it can be resolved through dialogue. If necessary, we can play the role of a mediator too.”
The source said, “We can be instrumental, but it will be better (for the two sides) to develop direct contact.”
Notably that tensions between India and Pakistan have spiked since India abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir in August last. India’s decision evoked strong reactions from Pakistan, which downgraded diplomatic ties and expelled the Indian envoy.
the source said, “When we come together, sit together and share views then things will be resolved. In every situation, we have to sit together and try to resolve the problem otherwise things can be deteriorated.”
The source said, “SAARC is not dead. It is alive. Only thing is that we have not met. Hope we can revive it.”
The last SAARC Summit in 2014 was held in Kathmandu, which was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The 2016 SAARC summit was to be held in Islamabad. But after the terrorist attack on an Indian Army camp in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir on September 18 that year, India expressed its inability to participate in the summit due to “prevailing circumstances”.
The summit was called off after Bangladesh, Bhutan and Afghanistan also declined to participate in the Islamabad meet.
In the last three years, India has been distancing itself from the SAARC, citing security challenge facing the region from terror networks based in Pakistan, which is also a member of the grouping.
The source also claimed, “We are strongly against all forms and manifestations of terrorism. But there is no relationship between the two (SAARC and terrorism). We cannot connect the two issues.”
