Turkish President Erdogan raises Kashmir issue at UNGA again, calls for India-Pakistan dialogue under UN framework
The remarks came in the presence of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Erdogan's latest intervention marks a continuation of Ankara's repeated references to Kashmir at the UN.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan once again addressed the Kashmir issue during his speech at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. He emphasized the importance of resolving disputes in South Asia, including the Kashmir issue, through dialogue within the framework of the United Nations Charter and relevant resolutions.
The address took place alongside Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Erdogan's call for a UN-mediated resolution to the Kashmir issue is part of a consistent Turkish stance on the matter. This position has been a source of contention between Turkey and India, particularly after India revoked Jammu and Kashmir's special status in August 2019.
India maintains that all outstanding issues with Pakistan should be resolved bilaterally and that the international community should not interfere in its internal affairs.
