At the United Nations, Pakistan lashed out at India for blatantly defying UN Security Council’s call issued in July for a worldwide cessation of hostilities during deadly coronavirus pandemic.

Pakistan's Permanent Representative to United Nations, Munir Akram stated this in a speech submitted to Security Council as it debated implementation of resolution 2532 that endorsed UN Secretary-General’s appeal for a global ceasefire to unite efforts to fight COVID-19.

Pakistani Envoy said India took advantage of pandemic to intensify lockdown of Kashmiri people and its brutal campaign of repression in occupied territory.
