The Foreign Minister, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in his letter urged the Security Council and the Secretary-General to make concerted efforts to help settle the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people.

Speaking in the General Assembly’s Special Political and Decolonization (Fourth) Committee, the Pakistani envoy pointed out that since 1946, 80 former colonies had gained independence, but there are still people who are denied the right to self-determination, “most prominently the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine.”
