Jeddah: The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has reacted to the recent press release issued by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs regarding the resolution adopted on Jammu and Kashmir by the 44th session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) held in Abidjan, Republic of Cote d’Ivoire, in July 2017.
According to IINA news agency, The OIC General Secretariat would like to emphasize that the issue of Jammu and Kashmir is one of the oldest unresolved international disputes pending on the agenda of the United Nations Security Council and of the OIC Summit and CFM meetings.
The OIC has always supported the peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions. It has also endeavored to engage with India aimed at helping the peaceful resolution of the dispute. It still hopes that the OIC Special Representative on Jammu and Kashmir would be able to visit the Kashmir valley for an objective and impartial judgment of the overall situation there, reports said. Likewise, it expects that the Indian government would permit a delegation of the Independence Permanent Human Rights Commission (IPHRC) to visit Kashmir valley to verify the reported ‘human rights violations there’, reports added.
