A ceremony was held today at the Embassy of Pakistan in Moscow, Russia, to express solidarity with the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

The event was attended by people from different walks of life including members of the Pakistani diaspora, the business community, and media representatives. During the ceremony, the messages from the President and the Prime Minister of Pakistan were read out to the participants.

Addressing the gathering, Ambassador of Pakistan to Russia Federation, H. E. Mr. Faisal Niaz Tirmizi said that the issue of IIOJK remains the oldest unresolved dispute at the UNSC. He underscored that the dispute is an obstacle to regional integration, including the North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC). He noted that the resolution of the Kashmir dispute would bring benefit to the entire region.

The ceremony concluded with a documentary screening and a photo exhibition depicting atrocities committed by the Indian forces in the IIOJK.
