Prime Minister Imran Khan has made a telephone call to the King of Bahrain, Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa, to apprise him of the evolving situation in the Occupied Kashmir and Indian violation of the UN Security Council resolutions.
The King of Bahrain said that the government of Bahrain was closely monitoring the developments in the IOK with deep concern and hoped that all issues would be resolved through dialogue.
On the other hand, Iran's armed forces chief of staff on Saturday cautioned Pakistan and India to avoid any "hasty decision" in Kashmir without considering the wishes of the region's people, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
"The parties are expected to refrain from any hasty decision on the fate of the (Kashmir) region, without regards to the people's will," Major General Mohammad Baqeri was quoted by Fars as telling Pakistan's army chief by telephone.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has called on the Trump administration to help ease tensions after India revoked autonomy of Kashmir.
In an interview with Bloomberg news editors and reporters in Washington, Pakistani Ambassador to the United States Asad Khan said the US could do and the US must do more to help defuse this situation and to inject some more sanity on the Indian side. Meanwhile, Spokesperson for the US Department of State Morgan Ortagus said the US policy toward Kashmir has not changed and the US is incredibly engaged in Southeast Asia.
More than 45 members of parliament and peers from United Kingdom have called on UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to intervene and prevent India's unconstitutional attack on Kashmir s autonomy.
These MPs and peers have co-signed a letter, written by MP Warrington South, Faisal Rashid expressing deep concern that Indian government has revoked Article 370 of the constitution, stripping Kashmir of its autonomous status.
The letter termed the unilateral Indian decision a direct attack on the political status of Kashmir and its right to self-governance.
The MPs called on UN Secretary-General to urgently bring this matter to the attention of Security Council as a serious threat to international peace and security. A separate letter, written by members of European Parliament to High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, expressed concerns on the recent developments in the Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
