Pakistan's Defense Minister Emphasizes Key Issues in Potential Talks with India

Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has outlined three major issues that would be central to any negotiations with India: Kashmir, terrorism, and water.

Asif highlighted the recent progress made by US President Trump in raising the topic of Kashmir and emphasized that all wars between the two countries have been fought over Kashmir.
