Prime Minister Imran Khan has begun what Pakistan’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi called “mission Kashmir for Pakistan” as the premier with full zeal will pull the world’s attention towards the longstanding Kashmir dispute between nuclear-armed rivals Pakistan and India.
“This is mission Kashmir for the prime minister and for Pakistan […] his message will be clear: the occupation must end, and a peaceful solution found for the Kashmir dispute. He will highlight the plight of the Kashmiri people who continue to suffer a suffocating lockdown and a brutal occupation,” said Ambassador Lodhi, adding the prime minister would meet world leaders and the UN secretary general.
This is the prime minister’s first General Assembly visit and “he will be the voice of the Kashmiri people at the UN,” the ambassador said.
Yesterday, PM Khan met the Founder of Kashmir Study Group (KSG), Farooq Kathwari, in New York.
