Lt. General, Retired, Asif Yaseen Malik (Defense Analyst):  Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan. The United Nations is a debating club, but we should not abandon our struggle as far as the Kashmir issue is concerned. Unfortunately, the world powers have failed to resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN resolutions. The world powers have observed criminal silence on Kashmir for their financial and strategic interests. The incumbent government has pursued an effective diplomacy to highlight the Kashmir issue at international front. Prime Minister Imran Khan has emerged as an ambassador of Kashmiri people. Pakistan is committed to stand with their Kashmiri brethren in their just struggle of self-determination. India has gained influence in the gulf countries due to its huge market.
