Pakistan reiterates call for full implementation of UNSC Resolution 47

Kathmandu: Pakistani Ambassador to Nepal Abrar Hashmi has said that the long-standing Kashmir dispute can only be resolved through the full implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 47 (1948).

Speaking at a programme organised to mark Kashmir Solidarity Day in Kathmandu, Ambassador Hashmi recalled that the UN resolution clearly outlines a roadmap for resolving the issue. He said the resolution calls for a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the withdrawal of forces from the region, and the holding of a free and impartial plebiscite to allow the people of Jammu and Kashmir to decide their own future.

The ambassador stressed that the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people, as guaranteed by the United Nations, remains unfulfilled even decades after the adoption of the resolution.

He urged the international community to play a more proactive role in ensuring the implementation of UN resolutions on Kashmir. Kashmir Solidarity Day is observed annually to express support for the people of Kashmir and to highlight the unresolved nature of the dispute.
