The meeting reiterated that Kashmir conflict would be resolved if the UNSC resolutions regarding the troubled valley are implemented fairly.

Prime Minister Sharif’s office said the committee, the highest forum for civil-military coordination on security issues, is likely to deliberate on important internal and regional security issues today.
