United Nations, Nov 15 (PTI) Pakistan has objected to
the exclusion of Kashmir from a list of disputes under the
observation of the Security Council as mentioned by the UK's
top diplomat in an annual debate on UNSC reforms here.
UK holds the presidency of UNSC this month.
"Jammu and Kashmir dispute was not mentioned in the
context of unresolved long-running situations," said Amjad
Hussain B Sial, Pakistan's acting envoy to UN, told the
General Assembly, where the debate was held.
"We understand this was an inadvertent omission, as
Jammu and Kashmir is one of the oldest disputes on agenda of
the Security Council," he added.
Pakistan has been asking the UN to intervene to help
resolve the issue but India has always maintained that it has
to be resolved bilaterally between the two countries. (More)
