Observance of Kashmir Solidarity Day.
The Consulate General of Pakistan
in Dubai organized an event at its premises to mark Kashmir Solidarity Day
2026. Many Pakistani and Kashmiri community members based in the UAE attended
the gathering. Messages from the President, Prime Minister, and Deputy Prime
Minister/Foreign Minister of Pakistan, highlighting Pakistan’s firm commitment
to the Kashmir cause were read out during the event.
Addressing the gathering, H.E.
Hussain Muhammad, Consul General underscored that the Kashmir issue remains a
core humanitarian and principled concern for Pakistan. He emphasized that the
right to self-determination of the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu
and Kashmir (IIOJK) is an internationally recognized right, enshrined in the
resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, and must be realized
through peaceful and democratic means.
Mr. Hussain highlighted that the
unresolved Kashmir dispute continues to adversely affect peace and stability in
South Asia. He expressed serious concern over the prevailing human rights
situation in IIOJK, citing reports by international organizations and credible
human rights bodies.
He further noted that curbs on
freedom of expression and political activities undermine the basic human
dignity of the Kashmiri people. Reiterating Pakistan’s commitment to peace, he
stated that a just and lasting resolution of the Kashmir dispute is essential
for sustainable peace, regional cooperation, and economic development in South
Asia.
The Consul General also
highlighted Pakistan’s continued efforts to raise the Kashmir issue at
international forums, including the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic
Cooperation (OIC), and the UN Human Rights Council. Pakistan, he affirmed, will
continue to extend moral, diplomatic, political, and humanitarian support to
the Kashmiri people.
Speakers called upon the
international community to play an active and constructive role to ensure the
protection of human rights in IIOJK, and restoration of civil liberties, and
resolution of the dispute in accordance with UN resolutions. The event also
featured screening of a special documentary on the historical background of
Kashmir issue.
