I welcome Nawaz's statement. Note, he is not saying that Pakistan should give up any claims on Kashmir. May be 'shelve' the issue so that India and Pakistan can live in peace to better the lives of their citizens. It pains me to see our countries buying weapons at $60+ million per aircraft to kill each other when the price of one aircraft alone can do so much good in educating people.
Also, coming from Nawaz's mouth makes the statement very important: Peace between India and Pakistan is going to come when somebody from Punjab and/or Army is going to take the lead. If Zardari or Asfandyar Wali had said something like that they would be called 'traitors'.
Finally, this is the same Nawaz Sharif who, in 1988 elections campaign under IJI (Islami Democratic Alliance), had bragged about hoisting Pakistan's flag over Delhi's Red Fort.
Such is the sea-change in Pakistani mindset! This has been brewing for quite some time but now Pakistanis want to move forward. And about time for that.
