COAS Gen. Asim Munir Raises Kashmir And Afghanistan Concerns In UN And US Talks
Meanwhile, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Asim Munir met UN Secretary-General António Guterres in New York on Friday to articulate Pakistan’s concerns regarding the situations in Indian-held Kashmir and Afghanistan, according to diplomatic sources.
Expressing particular unease over the Indian Supreme Court’s approval of the merger of occupied Kashmir, Pakistan urged the UN to uphold its commitment to facilitating a plebiscite for Kashmiris to determine their future. Additionally, Pakistan voiced alarm over an upswing in militant attacks, seeking international support to quell what it termed “cross-border terrorism from Afghanistan.”
Following discussions with top US officials in Washington, Gen Munir arrived in New York before proceeding to Tampa, Florida, for talks with General Michael E. Kurilla, the commander of the US Central Command.
