In another diplomatic win for India, US President Donald Trump on Friday asked Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan to initiate dialogue with New Delhi to resolve the Kashmir issue. Trump and Khan held a telephonic conversation just few hours before the United Security Council meeting in New York.

"Today, President Donald Trump spoke with Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan to discuss regional developments and to follow up on the Prime Minister's successful visit to Washington, D.C., last month," Deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement.
