The agenda for India at the UNGA has been diverse, but Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan seems to have one point agenda - Kashmir. 

PM Modi and Pakistan PM Imran Khan

PM Modi and Pakistan PM Imran Khan are on a week-long visit to the United States.

The last five days for Prime Minister Narendra Modi have been filled with action.

From the mega 'Howdy, Modi' event, multiple multilateral and bilateral engagements to meeting with the top business leaders of America.

From his UN address to all of his bilaterals, the focus for the Pak PM remains internationalising Kashmir.

In a bid to rake up the Kashmir issue, Pak PM has been losing focus on the worsening financial crisis and cash-strapped economy of Pakistan.

There seems to be not much traction on the investment side for Pakistan as well.
