ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office (FO) Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar Ahmed on Friday urged the international community to take specific actions against India for its negative, hostile and regressive policies in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
“Indian regime’s oppressive policies are continuing unabated in the occupied territory,” the FO spokesperson said while addressing a weekly press conference in Islamabad.
Asim Iftikhar reiterated that Pakistan would continue raising voice for Kashmiri people facing tyranny of Indian forces in IIOJK. “We want cordial relations with all its neighbours including India but New Delhi does not reciprocate in the same manner,” he added.
He dispelled the impression of any slowdown in projects under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). “Both Pakistan and China are strongly committed to take CPEC forward and make it successful,” Ahmed added.
The FO spokesperson also urged international community to come forward in fulfilling humanitarian needs of people of Afghanistan. “Pakistan had announced a five billion rupees’ assistance package, comprising 50,000 tons of wheat, medication, shelter and other things, for Afghan people,” he highlighted.
The spokesperson concluded by saying that Islamabad has conveyed its willingness to Indian authorities to allow humanitarian assistance India has announced, especially the provision of wheat, to pass through Pakistan’s territory.
