ISLAMABAD, December 12: The AJK President Sardar Masood Khan has termed as a good omen the call of Malaysian Prime Minister Mahatir Mohammad for a negotiated solution to Kashmir issue in accordance with the UN resolutions.
Talking to Malaysian High Commission Ikram Mohammad Ibrahim here on Thursday, he thanked Prime Minister Mahatir for adopting a principled and categorical stand on Kashmir issue, and said that the people of Pakistan and Kashmir will remain indebted to him for his support to the just Kashmir cause. The AJK president asserted that the Malaysian leader has highlighted the UN role and the rule of law as the center point for the solution of Kashmir issue. He, however, regretted that instead of paying heed to the advice of this great leader, India had launched a boycott campaign against Malaysia. The Malaysian high commission said that his country would uphold its principled stand on Kashmir, and side by side with maintaining the best diplomatic ties with Pakistan, it would establish cultural and economic relations with Azad Kashmir also. Earlier, speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the Kashmiri Initiative Society under the auspices of University of Lahore, the AJK president said that the state government with the cooperation of the OIC and the federal government, was working to preserve the history, culture and heritage of Kashmir.-Agencies
