Pakistan raises Kashmir issue at sixth Moscow conference on International security

Speaking at the sixth Moscow Conference on International Security, Pakistan Defence Minister Khwaja Asif said that if unresolved, the Kashmir issue has the potential to threaten the peace and stability of the entire region.

“The Kashmir issue must be resolved in accordance with the UN resolution,” the Defence minister said. “I must share that all peace overtures and sincere efforts made by Pakistan are not being reciprocated [by India].” 

He stressed that it is the responsibility of the world community to address some of the long-standing conflicts of the world. “India continues to stay away from any plausible diplomatic approach for the resolution of Kashmir issue.”

Expressing his views on the situation in the Middle East, the minister termed the United States’ attack on Syria as 'external interference.'
