We're trying to resolve Kashmir dispute through negotiations: PM
The PM said that propaganda was carried out against Pakistan and Islam after 9/11.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Imran Khan has stressed the need for evolving a collective regional approach to deal with the shared challenges including global warming, peace and trade.
Addressing the inaugural session of Islamabad Conclave 2021 in Islamabad on Thursday, he said the major issues of the region, including Afghanistan and Kashmir, can only be resolved through dialogue.
The Prime Minister urged the world leaders to play their role in averting the implending humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan by releasing their frozen assets. Imran Khan said these assets are linked with saving the lives of 40 million Afghan people, who have been suffering since so long.
Imran Khan said through the platform of OIC, in its forthcoming Foreign Minister’s meeting, we will try to play our role for saving Afghan people against any humanitarian crisis.
The Prime Minister said we tried our best to develop peace with India since he assumed the office in 2018 but unfortunately Modi-led Indian regime took every initiative as our weakness.
He regretted that the Hindutva led BJP regime could become a threat for its own country as the specific ideology has excluded its major population and exclusion can only create radicalism.
The Prime Minister said under our geo-economics approach, Pakistan wants to enhance the connectivity for increasing trade with regional countries. He said in this regard we are trying to take maximum benefit from CPEC.
He also stressed the world nations to not polarize them on the pattern of Cold War. He said we also want to play role in reducing distances between China and US.
Imran Khan said climate change is another challenge that requires a collective approach to be resolved on priority basis.
He said to deal with it, we started Ten-Billion Tree Tsunami program that is being appreciated at every world forum. He said it is unfortunate that the global leaders are not focused over it as their personal interests clash with the desired steps.
