ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Foreign Office has said that the matter of UN Security Council deliberating upon Kashmir dispute is not over but is on the agenda of the Council and further developments are expected on it.
In his weekly media briefing in Islamabad on Thursday, the Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal said that it is the success of our foreign policy that the UN Security Council discussed the situation in the Indian Occupied Kashmir at length after a gap of 50 years.
Dr Faisal emphatically said that resolution of Kashmir dispute as per the UN Security Council resolutions is cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy.
The Spokesperson said that the visit of the Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi to Geneva to attend the meeting of UN Human Rights council is on the cards. He said that Pakistan’s Special Envoy Tehmina Janjua is already in Geneva for an extensive outreach with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and other Countries.
Dr Mohammad Faisal said that India should stop misleading the international community and accept the ground realities and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir instead of continuing with its policy of obduracy. He said that Pakistan impresses upon the international community to take cognizance of blatant human rights violations in occupied Kashmir.
When asked about the airspace closure with India, he said that the matter has been discussed at the highest level and we can exercise this option at the time of our choosing.
Responding to a question, the foreign office spokesperson said that a technical meeting on Kartarpur corridor is being held tomorrow at zero point. He said that Pakistan remains committed to completely inaugurate the corridor as per the announcement made by Prime Minister Imran Khan.
