Foreign OfficePakistan laments India’s plans to hold G-20 meetings in Occupied Kashmir

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan has expressed its strong indignation over India’s decision to hold the G-20 Tourism Working Group meeting in Srinagar on May 22-24, 2023.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that scheduling of two other meetings of a consultative forum on youth affairs (Y-20) in Leh and Srinagar in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) is equally disconcerting.

The Spokesperson said that India’s irresponsible move is the latest in a series of self-serving measures to perpetuate its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir in sheer disregard of the UN Security Council resolutions and in violation of the principles of the UN Charter and international law.

“Pakistan vehemently condemns these moves,” she said.

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that such events cannot hide the reality of Jammu and Kashmir being an internationally recognized dispute that has remained on the agenda of United Nations Security Council for over seven decades.

Nor could such activities divert international community’s attention from India’s brutal suppression of the people of IIOJK including illegal attempts to change the demographic composition of the occupied territory.

The Spokesperson added that with its decision to host G-20 events in IIOJK, India is again exploiting its membership of an important international grouping for advancing its self-serving agenda.

For a Country that has a grandiose vision about itself and its place in the world, India has once more demonstrated that it is unable to act as a responsible member of the international community, she remarked.
