A video of a young Pakistani boy suggesting that his country should focus on Islamabad's economic development rather than concentrating on Kashmir at this point has gone viral on social media. While speaking to a local news channel, the boy said that India has a strong influence on the world because of its trade relations with other countries, and that Pakistan will find it difficult to resolve the Kashmir issue if it doesn't work on its economy.

"Jo Pakistan aur Kashmiris ko ek cheez recognise karne ki zaroorat hai ki India ke saath pure duniya ki trade ke majbooriyaan judi hain. India jo hai, matlab trade ke wajah se usne poori duniye ko influence kiya hai. Toh jab tak Pakistan, economically, India ko parallel nahi karta, tab tak hum apne issues ko unke parallel nahi khade kar sakte. Jab tak Pakistan economically unko defeat nahi kar sakta, tab tak mere khayaal se, Kashmir ka issue solve nahi ho sakta. (Pakistan and Kashmiris need to recognise that every country in the world has trade compulsions with India. Also, India has influenced the entire country because of trade. Until Pakistan improves its economic condition and is parallel to India, our issues cannot be parallelled to theirs. The Kashmir issue will not be solved until Pakistan doesn't defeat India economically)," the boy said.

"Kyunki duniya kabhi bhi India ko naraaz karke, Pakistan ki himayat nahi karegi. Toh agar hume kisi cheez ki zaroorat hai toh, ehtijaad thik hai. Yeh positive effect rakhta hai. Iska zaroor hona chahiye. Isse behtar hume apni economy pe focus karna chahiye, jisko behtar karne se humaare tamaam issues solve ho jaayenge. Including the issue of Kashmir and Balochistan. Toh, sabse pehle jo hamari priority honi chahiye hai, woh hamare economic policies hain. (The world will never upset India to side with Pakistan. So, we must focus on our economy and by improving it, we will be able to solve several issues including that of Kashmir and Balochistan. So, our priority should be to improve our economy)," he added.

The Pakistani boy was asked about his opinion on Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's announcement to his countrymen to participate in the Kashmir Hour, which will be observed on Friday to show "solidarity with Kashmiris". Pakistan has strongly objected to India's revocation of special status for Jammu and Kashmir.

Imran Khan, in fact, will reportedly discuss the matter with leaders from 35 countries at the 74th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
