ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal on Thursday said Kashmir is cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy and we will continue political, diplomatic and moral support to Kashmiris struggling for their just right to self-determination.

“The wave of Indian brutalities continues unabated in the occupied valley,” he said while addressing a weekly briefing in Islamabad.

The FO spokesperson said Indian forces killed eight Kashmiris last week alone and also injured 170 innocent civilians.

He said Pakistan called upon international community to take cognizance of human rights abuses in Indian Occupied Kashmir as well as the UN Report and immediately call upon India to stop the bloodshed.

To a question, Dr Muhammad Faisal said Pakistan believed there was no military solution to Afghan conflict, and durable peace in the war-torn country could be achieved through an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned solution only.

He said bringing Taliban to negotiation table was a shared responsibility of all the countries, including the US.
