Turkish President Erdogan Raises Kashmir Issue at UNGA Following Mecca Defence Pact
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan raised the Kashmir issue at the 81st United Nations General Assembly, calling for disputes in South Asia, including Kashmir, to be resolved through dialogue within the framework of the UN Charter and relevant resolutions. His remarks came weeks after Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia signed the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, a trilateral defence pact. India reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country and emphasized bilateral dialogue under the Shimla Agreement, rejecting third-party involvement and linking peace to the cessation of cross-border terrorism.
