UN: Pakistan is overseeing India’s aggressive measures, which led to attacks in Indian -occupied Kashmir last week, and when a “appropriate” meeting will be held to do so.
“It is clear that an event has happened, but now what has happened in terms of the situation, which has been a real threat to regional and international peace and security,” he said at a press conference at a press conference at the UN headquarters in New York. I told a press conference. “
The press conference was one of the several steps in which Ambassador Asim was a permanent representative of Pakistan in the United Nations, taking the international community to provide this evolutionary situation and a refreshment to Pakistan’s perspective.
“We have discussed it with the last month’s Council (France) – and this month’s presidency (Greece) – we are observing this situation very closely, and when we feel appropriate, we have the right to meet,” he said.
Ambassador Asim was answering the question whether Pakistan was planning to meet with the Security Council in the wake of the growing tension between India and Pakistan after the attack in Pahalgam on April 22.
On Thursday, Greece, which is the president of the UN Security Council for May, said the Security Council is expected to meet “instead of soon” to discuss the situation between India and Pakistan, and it will be an opportunity to help spread the ideas, spreading tensions and spreading tensions.
“Of course, if there is a request for a meeting … I think this should be a meeting because, as we said, it is also an opportunity to express ideas and it can help to spread a little stress.
“We are in close contact. But that’s what I can say, I will say soon, instead of soon.”
Security was briefing UN reporters here on Thursday about the Council’s work program under the one -month Greek chair of the Greek organization here on Thursday.
When asked about the offer of good offices to address the tensions of UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres, India and Pakistan, Ambassador Asim said Pakistan had welcomed the UN Chief’s move.
He said that in fact, Pakistan has always offered its support for any peace initiative of the General of the UN Secretaries.
The gutters’ offer was subject to acceptance by both sides. However, India has not responded to the Secretary General’s proposal.
When an Indian journalist cited Defense Minister Khawaja Asif’s comments, which proposed Pakistan involvement in terrorism, Ambassador Asim said the comments had been “curved” and withdrawn from context. In fact, he said, it was India who was involved in terrorist acts not only against Pakistan but also against North America, which has been documentary. He added that Pakistan is a victim of terrorism.
Ambassador Asim said, “India’s behavior, which ignores international law and regional stability, is a firearms and dangerous, which has the potential to far -reaching and devastating consequences.”
Pakistan, which he reiterated, did not try to be clear at all levels and at all levels.
He warned, “At the same time, we are fully prepared to defend our sovereignty and territorial integrity. Do India resort to aggression, Pakistan will exercise its inherited and legitimate right to defense, as is included in the UN Charter.”
He further said that Pakistan clearly rejected any attempt to connect the Pahalgam incident in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
“Pakistan condemns terrorism in all its forms and explanations. Nothing justifys targeting innocent civilians,” said the Pakistani envoy.
“We are worried about the loss of lives in the Pahalgam attack, and we have increased our condolences. As a victim of terrorism, no one can feel the pain of those affected by this curse like Pakistan.”
In response to India’s provocative and unilateral measures, he said, Pakistan’s National Security Committee (NSC), chaired by the Prime Minister, held a meeting on April 24 and was obliged to take some proportional anti -measures.
“The serious and especially concern is that India’s irresponsible decision to implement the 1960’s historic Sindh Waters Agreement – an important sign, a legal -bound agreement that guarantees and guarantees it by the World Bank,” said the Pakistani envoy.
He noted, “The IWT holding in the Abysses is unilateral and illegal. There is no such clause in the agreement. India’s unilateral and illegal actions are obliged to harm regional peace and stability with destructive implications.”
Regarding the UN, Pakistan’s envoy added, “Pakistan’s National Security Committee has clearly made it clear that any attempt to stop or divert the natural flow of water, which is right from Pakistan according to the provisions of the agreement, and will be considered as the rights of the lower levels.”
He emphasized that such a move poses a threat to the people of Pakistan and will not be tolerated.
Ambassador ASIM added, “If it is not examined by the international community, such measures are at risk of a dangerous view that can damage the legal rights of lower -level states, which potentially mobilizes new global conflicts over common water resources.
He pointed out, “We are deeply concerned about reports of widespread human rights abuses in IIOJK, including discretionary detention, demolition of home and collective punishment on innocent Kashmiri people.”
He remarked, “Pakistan wants good neighbors, peaceful and cooperative relations with all its neighbors, including India. We support mutual respect, sovereign equality, peaceful coexistence and peaceful resolution of all residual conflicts.”
He added that but that desire should be avenged-this cannot be a one-sided matter.
