ISLAMABAD - Prime Minister Imran Khan briefed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the latest situation since India’s illegal and unilateral actions of 5th August to alter the disputed status of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
He briefed President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of 74th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
Imran Khan said India’s efforts to change Occupied Kashmir's demographic structure contravened numerous UN Security Council's resolutions, international law and India’s own prior commitments.
He emphasized that the dire human rights and humanitarian situation in Occupied Kashmir posed grave risks for peace and security in the region.
In this context, he called for the immediate lifting of curfew and other restrictions in the Held Kashmir, end to gross violations of human rights, and allowing Kashmiris their inalienable right to self-determination as enshrined in the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
Recalling his visit to Turkey in January this year, Imran Khan expressed satisfaction that Pakistan-Turkey bilateral relations have transformed into a mutually beneficial strategic partnership. He Khan thanked President Erdogan for Turkey’s consistent support to Pakistan on issues of core national interest, and reaffirmed Pakistan’s steadfast support to Turkey on issues of its national interest.
The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of further strengthening the bilateral economic partnership and expressed hope that the recently finalized Strategic Economic Framework (SEF) would play an instrumental role in this regard.
Imran Khan added that he looks forward to President Erdogan’s visit to Pakistan for the next round of Pakistan-Turkey High Level Strategic Cooperation Council (HLSSC).
During the meeting the leaders recalled the historic fraternal ties between the two nations and reiterated their strong resolve to continue standing by each other in the face of all challenges.
