"The Prime Minister will definitely take up the Kashmir issue with the US President and seek his help for the resolution of the dispute with India," said one official.

Another official said that Pakistan will brief the US about Islamabad's efforts for regional peace.

"The ongoing support to the US talks with the Afghan Taliban will be discussed. Pakistan is ready to go further for Afghan peace and stability," he said, adding that Islamabad had also been urging talks with New Delhi and Khan will provide details of the country's efforts so far to President Trump.
