Foreign OfficeNo change in Pakistan's position on Kashmir dispute: FM Qureshi

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has emphatically said that there is no change in Pakistan’s historic and principled position on Jammu and Kashmir dispute.

“There is no ambiguity in Pakistan’s stance on the lingering dispute,” Qureshi while addressing a news conference in Islamabad on Tuesday.

The foreign minister said that Pakistan and the Kashmiri people have totally rejected the illegal steps taken by India on August 5, 2019. He said that Pakistan has raised its voice on the matter at all the international forums.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that at present no talks are taking place with India. However, he added that talks can take place if India revisits its policy in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and provide relief to the people there.

Furthermore, Qureshi strongly condemned Israeli violence against innocent and unarmed Palestinians.

Qureshi urged the International Community to mobilize its efforts to get stopped the Israeli atrocities against Palestinians and their forced evictions from their homes.

Referring to his telephonic conversation with his Turkey Counterpart, Qureshi that Mevlut Cavusoglu is in Saudi Arabia and during talks with the Saudi Foreign Minister His Highness Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud today, he will propose an emergency ministerial-level meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in order to effectively raise the voice of Muslim Ummah on the Palestinian issue.

Responding to a question, the foreign minister categorically said that Pakistan will not give any base to the US after its withdrawal from Afghanistan.
