Pakistan summoned the US Charge d’Affaires in Islamabad on Wednesday to register a strong protest over remarks made by US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor. The Foreign Office declared the ambassador's statements "factually incorrect" and categorically rejected his characterization of Jammu and Kashmir as a "part of India." Pakistan emphasized that the territory is an internationally recognized disputed area awaiting a resolution in line with UN Security Council resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people.
The US ambassador's remarks, the Foreign Office stated, contradicted the United States' established position on the Jammu and Kashmir issue and violated Washington's commitment to international law and the UN Charter. Despite acknowledging US President Donald Trump's offer to mediate between Pakistan and India, Pakistan requested that the US side ensure its public statements align with the disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir. The demarche was communicated to the US Charge d’Affaires in Islamabad on Wednesday.
