The acting foreign secretary reiterated Pakistan’s long-held demand that the international community must urge India to implement the relevant UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir so that Kashmiris can realize their inalienable right to self-determination.
The foreign secretary also stressed the need to pressurize India to stop human rights violations in the illegally occupied territory and reverse its illegal and unilateral actions of August 5, 2019.
