NEW YORK (92 News) - Pakistan has fully supported Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s bold statement in the UN General Assembly on global issues, including Jammu and Kashmir. Commenting on the Turkish President's address to the UN General Assembly, Pakistan's Permanent Representative to UN Munir Akram on his twitter handle said Pakistan also fully supports Erdogan’s call for declaring an international day against Islamophobia. Munir Akram further said that the statement of the Chinese president in the UNGA is a reminder of establishing international cooperation for the prosperous future of humanity. In yet another attempt to raise the matter of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Kashmir conflict is still a burning issue. In a pre-recorded statement, the leader said that it is imperative to solve the issue of Kashmir through dialogue. "We are in favour of solving this issue through dialogue within the framework of the United Nations resolutions, especially in line with the expectations of the people of Kashmir," Erdogan added. In the last one year, Pakistan-ally Turkey has used several platforms to raise the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. However, India, time and again, has told the west-Asian country that Kashmir is an internal matter of India. Last week, India had slammed Pakistan, Turkey and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) at the 46th session of the Human Rights Council for their remarks on India's internal affairs.
