He stated that Kashmiris had made enormous sacrifices from generation to generation in order to obtain their right to self-determination.
He stated that Pakistan would continue to support Kashmiris until their dream of holding a plebiscite in accordance with United Nations resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people was realized.
