Kashmir Scandinavian Council has welcomed Prime Minister Imran Khan’s historical address to the UN General Assembly, saying the landmark speech has opened up new avenues and opportunities for pro-Kashmir lobbying groups.

In a statement on Sunday, the organization appreciated Imran Khan for highlighting the plight of besieged Kashmiris in bold and impressive manner besides exposing the Modi-led fascist regime’s racist ideology.

The Council's Executive Director Sardar Ali Shahnawaz Khan said the Prime Minister's speech has paved the way for Kashmiri diaspora community to present Kashmir case more effectively at international level.

He expressed the hope that the world will shun its policy of indifference towards Kashmir and play its much needed role to settle the lingering dispute of Kashmir which is the major cause of tension and rights violations.
