Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif said, “US President Trump’s recent statement on the solution of Kashmir issue is encouraging.”
She added, “Pakistan will continue to provide political, diplomatic and moral support to Kashmiris at every forum.”
She noted, “Sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs have shown the world that no coercion, and no power can keep them slaves.”
The CM said, “The entire Pakistani nation considers every suffering of their Kashmiri brothers as their own suffering.”
