Deputy Chief of Mission at the Embassy of Pakistan in Kathmandu, Javad Umrani, in his speech titled Resolution of Regional Disputes for Greater Peace and Prosperity in South Asia, said that Pakistan would continue to vigorously pursue a peaceful solution, based on the wishes and aspirations of the Kashmiri people."We have no doubt that ultimately, Kashmiris would be the final arbiters of their destiny and no plan would succeed that does not reflect this reality," he said.
Pakistani populace, across the world, commemorates February 5, as the Kashmir Solidarity Day.
"This day renews the pledge for those millions of Kashmiris who have been engaged in the struggle to win their right to self determination. The day, observed since 1991, highlights their right to choose their fate themselves, as guaranteed by UN resolutions. This right must be given to them," he said. "The way to everlasting peace in the region lies in the resolution of Kashmir issue, as per aspirations of the Kashmiris. This would no doubt bring about regional peace and greater prosperity in South Asia."
