PM Khan said the armed forces of Pakistan were professional forces and were fully capable of dealing with every challenge.
The premier said the United States was the only country which could play a role of mediation between India and Pakistan to resolve the issue of Kashmir.
He said that prisoner swap issue could be discussed with the United States.
He said Pakistan and the United States were important allies in the war on terror and both the countries suffered loss due to mistrust in the past.
