Pakistan welcomes statement of UNSG spokesperson on J&K dispute
The spokesperson said statement denies self-serving remarks by India
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan on Saturday welcomed the statement by spokesperson of UN Secretary-General, reaffirming the United Nations position on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.
Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said the statement reaffirms that the United Nations position on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is well-established and has not changed.
Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry said Pakistan particularly appreciates the timeliness of the statement, as it coincides with completion of two years of India s illegal and unilateral actions of 5th August 2019, in the illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
He said these actions violate the UN charter, UN Security Council resolutions and international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention.
The spokesperson said the statement denies the self-serving remarks by India s Permanent Representative to the United Nations claiming that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India.
