ISLAMABAD: Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi stressed the need for a peaceful resolution of Kashmir issue with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Pakistan media reported today.
A peaceful resolution of the Kashmir conflict should be both reflective of the locals’ wishes and be in line with the United Nations statutes, Qureshi said during a meeting with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, reported Geo News.
Qureshi, according to the report, raised the issue of the plight of Kashmiri people with Guterres and requested him to play a role in the resolution of the conflict.
