Earlier this year, India outrightly rejected Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s call for the Kashmir issue to be addressed as per the United Nations resolution.
On Tuesday, during the United Nations General Assembly, President Erdogan once again raised the Kashmir issue and emphasized the need for resolving the matter through dialogue.
During his recent visit to Islamabad, where he met Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Erdogan stated that the Kashmir issue should be resolved through dialogue between India and Pakistan. He said, “The Kashmir issue should be addressed according to the UN resolution through dialogue and by keeping in mind the aspirations of the people of Kashmir. Our state and our nation, as in the past, stand in solidarity with our Kashmiri brothers today,” during a media interaction.
Reacting to Erdogan’s comments, the spokesperson for India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) responded by saying that instead of making remarks on India’s internal issues, Erdogan should have focused on Pakistan’s policy of backing cross-border terrorism against India.
