The foreign minister addressed All Parties Kashmir Conference held under the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and stated that the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has taken up the issue after 54 years.
The minister further emphasised on the need to mobilise the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for its focus on the longstanding dispute of Kashmir.
“India made unconstitutional moves on Aug. 5 […] entire Pakistani nation supports the cause of Kashmir’s struggle and a joint session of the parliament was called in this regard,” he said, adding that the matter was raised at international forums as well.
