Highlighted need to condemn & oppose unilateral/illegal measures to change status of disputed territories in violation of UNSC resolutions. Such unilateral measures run counter to shared objective of #SAARC to create regional amity and cooperation & must be opposed resolutely.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi@SMQureshiPTI

In this same spirit, I restated Pakistan’s willingness to host the 19th SAARC Summit and for obstacles created in its way to be removed for SAARC to function as an effective instrument of regional cooperation. https://twitter.com/SMQureshiPTI/status/1309069909125668867
