Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has made a conditional offer to his Indian counterpart for talks on all outstanding issues, including disputed Kashmir. Sharif said in a TV interview on January 17 that his message to his counterpart would be "Let's sit down at the table and have serious and sincere talks" on all issues. However, a statement by Sharif's office later added that such talks would only be possible if India restored the autonomous status in the part of Kashmir it rules that was revoked in 2019.
