New Delhi, August 2: Triggering unwanted and uncalled-for controversy, United States President Donald Trump had asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked Donald Trump to offer assistance in solving the Kashmir dispute. Echoing its stance on global platform, Union Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar Friday conveyed to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that any discussion on Kashmir will only be with Pakistan, bilaterally.

The foreign minister met with his US counterpart in Bangkok on Friday and held wide ranging discussions on regional issues, after which he tweeted that he has conveyed India's unaltered stand on Kashmir to Pompeo.

EAM Jaishankar is currently attending the ASEAN-India Ministerial Meeting, the 9th East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers' Meeting, the 26th ASEAN Regional Forum and the 10th Mekong Ganga Cooperation Ministerial Meeting.

On Thursday, Trump said that it is up to India and Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir dispute and that he was ready to assist if the two South Asian neighbours wanted his help in resolving the decades-old issue.

Issuing a staunch denial on Donald Trump’s statement stating India asking US to mediate for Kashmir issue with Pakistan, India clearly asserted that ‘Kashmir issue will be discussed bilaterally only between India and Pakistan’. Reiterating the same, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar in his speech in Rajya Sabha said that he categorically assured that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had not made any such request to US President Donald Trump.
