NEW YORK: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erodogan has emphasized for dialogue between Pakistan and India for peaceful resolution of Kashmir dispute.
Addressing the 78th session of the UN General Assembly in New York, he said this will pave the way for peace, stability and prosperity in South Asia. The Turkish president said his country will continue to support the steps to be taken in this direction.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan also reaffirmed his country’s support to the Palestinian people in their struggle for legitimate rights.
In his address to the United Nations General Assembly in 2022, President Erdogan also said it is “unfortunate” that India and Pakistan haven’t been able to establish peace 75 years after independence and hoped for “fair and permanent peace” in Kashmir.
Later in the day, Erodgan’s reference to Kashmir — which was far more diluted than his past statements that had adopted a critical tone on India and referred to UN Security Council resolutions — came up during external affairs minister S Jaishankar’s wide-ranging and constructive meeting with his Turkish counterpart, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu.
