The offer, considered as a potential turning point, has been widely appreciated by political analysts, who believe that it signals a significant change in international attention to the most volatile dispute in the region.
Pakistan also appreciated the will of the American president to support efforts aimed at the resolution of the long-standing dispute of the cashmere which has serious implications for peace and security in South Asia and beyond.
“We recognize with appreciation the constructive role played by the United States, alongside other friendly states, to support the recent understanding of the ceasefire between Pakistan and India; a stage towards de-escalation and regional stability,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement published here.

The former Pakistani high-commissioner of India Abdul Basit said that the understanding of President Trump of the deep cause of the conflict was commendable.
“Trump should be appreciated for understanding that the deep cause of Pakistani-Indian hostility is the dispute of Jammu and cashmere,” he said. “Can he help, I do not know but diplomacy is the art of the possible provided that you do it well. Kashmir can win a Nobel.”
The expert in international relations and human political analyst Baqai echoed this feeling, stressing the importance of Trump’s mention of Kashmir. “Donald Trump[‘]S tweet is a breath of fresh air, mentioning cashmere, is the validation from the point of view of Pakistan and the recognition of the disputed status of the cashmere, the icing on the cake is trade. Thank you USA, “she wrote on X.
Michael Kugelman, an eminent expert in South Asia, praised Trump’s offer, in particular his accent on the search for a “solution” of cashmere.
“Trump posted again on India and Pakistan – and this time, he says he will work with them to look for a” solution “on cashmere. Wow,” Kugelman said.
He noted that the new offer made by Trump on cashmere is a step forward compared to his previous offers. During his first mandate in the presidency, he proposed mediation on cashmere provided that the two parties accepted him, he argued.
Veteran journalist Hamid Mir applauded Trump for reminding the international community to resolve the question of cashmere for regional peace.
“Thank you Donald Trump for reminding the international community of the cashmere solution of this dispute will certainly bring peace to South Asia.”
Senator Sherry Rehman described Trump’s offer as an “huge inherited victory”, if he succeeds in bringing all the parties to the negotiation table.
“The post of President Donald Trump again on the ceasefire in Pakistan and India suggests that he is looking to solve the longest dispute on the United Nations file which is cashmere. Peace and his dividends were a distant dream for a fifth of humanity in South Asia.
“If it is able to bring all the parts to the table and make a forward path, then it will indeed be a huge victory inherited for him. And for all. So thank you for raising the problem.”
These comments demonstrate Pakistan’s desire for a peaceful resolution to long -standing conflict and its desire to engage in a constructive dialogue with India, facilitated by international mediation. However, the success of Trump’s offer depends on India’s desire to participate in such a process.
