The foreign minister spoke with his Kuwaiti counterpart to apprise him of the  latest developments in the Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IoJ&K).

The foreign minister highlighted the gross human rights violations being  committed by the Indian forces in IoJ&K since India’s illegal and unilateral  actions of 5 August, a press release said.

He said the international human rights’ bodies and the global media have highlighted the Indian atrocities, including suppression of religious freedom on the occasion of Eid al Azha.

The foreign minister further underlined that India might try to divert the  world’s attention from these grave human rights violations by staging a

false flag operation and placing the blame on Pakistan.

Foreign Minister Qureshi expressed appreciation for Kuwait’s constructive engagement as a member of the UN Security Council.

Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sabah Al Khalid Al Sabah thanked the foreign  minister for his detailed briefing.

He noted with concern the deteriorating situation in IoJ&K and underlined the need for preventive steps and peaceful resolution of disputes.
