NEW DELHI: India said on Friday that it was looking forward to the United States President-elect Donald Trump addressing what it referred to as Pakistan’s ‘most outstanding of outstanding problems’. A comment from the Indian government came after Pakistan said that Trump had offered to side with Pakistan in the unsolved issues with its nuclear-armed arch rival. “We look forward to the US president-elect helping Pakistan address the most outstanding of its outstanding issues – terrorism,” said Indian Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Vikas Swarup. Trump, during a telephonic chat with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, had offered to help solve Pakistan’s problems. The text of their conversation showed Trump praising Nawaz and also expressed his desire to meet him ‘very soon’. The prime minister’s office had revealed that Nawaz called Trump to congratulate him on his victory and issued a read-out of the call. “Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif you have a very good reputation. You are a terrific guy. You are doing amazing work which is visible in every way,” said the statement quoting Trump as saying. “I am ready and willing to play any role that you want me to play to address and find solutions to the outstanding problems. It will be an honour and I will personally do it.” The prime minister’s office did not elaborate on the kind of problems Trump offered to solve. However, Trump’s team also later confirmed the two men talked and issued a brief statement that the two leaders had a ‘productive conversation about how the US and Pakistan will have a strong working relationship in the future’.
