Pak concerned over Kashmir situation: Basit
NISAR AHMED THOKAR
Islamabad, July 8: Pakistan foreign office spokesman Abdul Basit on Thursday expressed deep concern over the killing of innocent civilians in Kashmir.
“We are concerned at the worsening human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir where many youth including a 9-year boy have died in the past few days”, Basit said during the weekly press briefing here.
He expressed sympathies with Kashmiris and reiterated his country’s resolve to extend full diplomatic support to them.
About the prospects of Indo-Pak dialogue, he said, “During high-level meeting in Bhutan the prime ministers of the two countries agreed to resume the dialogue process. As a follow up to this high level meeting he said that secretary-level meeting was held last month and “now our Foreign Ministers are meeting on July 15 in Islamabad”.
“Pakistan is approaching the meeting with a positive mindset and hopes the two countries would engage in a sustained manner,” Basit added.
