NEW DELHI: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said that the only issue between India and Pakistan is Kashmir. "The only issue between us is Kashmir, all it needs is just two capable leaderships to resolve this issue. Just imagine the potential we have if our relationships get strong. We should move forward. Pakistan wants to move forward. Can we not solve one problem?", he said at the ground-breaking ceremony of the Kartarpur corridor.

He also suggested that the two countries should learn from examples around the world and make efforts to work together.

Comparing India and Pakistan to Germany and France, Khan further said that the two countries should learn from the past and decide that to stay in harmony. Khan added that the two nations should open up avenues of business and join hands to move towards progress.

The Kartarpur route along the India-Pakistan border is three kilometres away from Gurdaspur, Punjab. Once opened, it would allow Sikh pilgrims a direct access to the historic Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, Pakistan, where Guru Nanak died in 1539.

Imran Khan also joked that former Indian cricketer and current Punjab cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu will win hands down if he contests elections in Pakistan. Indian union minister for Food Processing Industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri along with Punjab cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu crossed over the Attari-Wagah Border to attend the event.
