Debate between Pakistan and India over Kashmir at the United Nations
During the United Nations General Assembly session, Pakistan strongly rejected India's claim that Jammu and Kashmir is its internal matter. Pakistan once again emphasized at the global forum that Kashmir is a disputed territory and its resolution should be in accordance with United Nations resolutions.
Addressing the session, the Pakistani representative stated that India's stance is contrary to facts and that it is essential to respect the aspirations of the Kashmiri people to establish peace in the region. He called upon the international community to play its role in resolving this long-standing dispute.
On the other hand, the Indian delegation, in its response, reiterated its long-standing position that Kashmir is an integral part of India. This debate between the two countries has once again highlighted the tension in the region and the importance of diplomatic relations.
This diplomatic bitterness between Pakistan and India is often seen on major platforms like the United Nations. Experts say that the closure of dialogue channels between the two countries is affecting efforts for peace in the region.
Pakistan's position is that as long as the Kashmir issue is not resolved according to the aspirations of the Kashmiri people, the establishment of sustainable peace in South Asia is not possible. The international community continues to advise both countries to exercise restraint on this matter.
