ISLAMABAD – Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi left on Monday for Switzerland to represent Pakistan at the 42nd session of UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) beginning in Geneva.
The foreign minister is expected to address the session and present the case of Kashmiris before the delegates attending the forum from across the world in his three-day visit.
Qureshi plans on informing the international community about the unilateral actions taken by India in occupied Kashmir and highlight the resultant threat posed to the region.
The foreign minister will also hold meetings with leaders of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and World Health Organisation (WHO) in Geneva.
The Kashmir crisis took the center stage of Pakistan’s foreign policy after India revoked the special status granted to the valley on August 5 through a rushed presidential decree.
An indefinite curfew was imposed in the serene valley and elected leaders were put under house arrest, amid global calls to restore the situation in the valley.
Prime Minister Imran Khan would also be heading to the US to attend the annual session of United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on September 27th and advocate the case of Kashmir.
