Prime Minister Imran Khan says Pakistan has always stood for peace in the region, but the onus of creating an enabling environment lies with India.

In a series of tweets on Friday, he said if India demonstrates sincerity in seeking a just solution to the Kashmir issue, in accordance with UNSC resolutions, Pakistan is ready to take two steps forward for peace.

He however makes it clear that our desire for stability and peace should not be taken as a sign of weakness. He said it is because of our strength and confidence as a nation that we are prepared to go the extra mile to ensure a just peace that fulfils the legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiri people.

The Prime Minister reiterated that Pakistan stands united and resolute with the Kashmiris in their legitimate struggle for self-determination.

He said over seven decades of Indian occupation and oppression have failed to weaken the Kashmiri people's resolve. He said a younger generation of Kashmiris is now taking the struggle forward with even greater resolve.

Over 7 decades of Indian Occupation & oppression have failed to weaken the Kashmiri people's resolve to struggle for their right to self-determination. Now, a younger generation of Kashmiris is taking the struggle forward with even greater resolve.

To the Kashmiri people, my message is that your goal of self determination is not far. Pakistan will stand with you till you achieve your legitimate rights. Pakistan has always stood for peace in our region, but the onus of creating an enabling environment lies with India.
