ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday strongly condemned India’s decision to host G-20 Tourism Meeting in Srinagar, said the Foreign Office Spokesperson on Tuesday.
Pakistan expressed its strong disapproval of India’s decision to hold the G-20 Tourism Working Group meeting in Srinagar, according to Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch.
She stated that the scheduling of two other meetings in Leh and Srinagar related to Youth Affairs is also concerning.
“Pakistan strongly condemns these moves as India’s attempt to perpetuate its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir in violation of international law and UN Security Council resolutions,” said Mumtaz Zahra Baloch.
The Spokesperson said that such events could not hide the fact that Jammu and Kashmir was an internationally recognized dispute and that India’s brutal suppression of the people of the region was a violation of human rights.
Besides it, she said, India was exploiting the membership of an important international grouping for advancing its self-serving agenda, and its decision to host G-20 events in the illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir demonstrated that it was unable to act as a responsible member of the international community.
