Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has once again raked the issue of Kashmir in front of a visiting foreign leader. The latest came during a bilateral meeting with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who is currently on a three-day visit to Islamabad, despite the spiralling tensions in the Middle East. During a joint address in Pakistan’s national capital, PM Shehbaz applauded Iran’s support for “Kashmir” and said he voiced concerns over the so-called situation in Jammu and Kashmir which Islamabad dubbed as the “India-occupied region”.
“PM Shehbaz also highlighted the plight of those in India-occupied Kashmir, appreciating the Iranian president for voicing support for them,” reported English news daily, Dawn. However, the joint address statement did not mention further on the issue i.e. what Raisi said to Shehbaz.
