New Delhi: The Kashmir issue was recently mentioned in a joint statement by Pakistan and Iran after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi embarked on a three-day visit to the former nation. India, which enjoys friendly relations with Tehran, has now raised the matter with the Iranian side, according to the Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday.
“We have taken up the matter with Iranian authorities,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on being asked how India sees the joint statement on the Kashmir issue. India has always maintained a firm position that Kashmir is its internal matter and has categorically asserted on multiple occasions that no foreign countries or entities should interfere over the issue.
