Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has raised the Kashmir issue with nearly every world leader he has held talks with on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session, but his efforts to internationalise the dispute with India appeared to have gained no traction.
Nawaz went on to say that Pakistan and China are iron brothers.
“Pakistan wants peace with India”.
Khan said the Baloch people are “indebted” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi “for speaking out for Balochistan’s right and the right of the Baloch people to be the masters of our own destiny”.
