PM Nawaz proposes four-point agenda to defuse tension between Pakistan and India
NEW YORK (Usman Shami) – Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said Pakistan will fight terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
Addressing United Nations General Assembly session on Wednesday, he opposed extension of Security Council, saying that there is no need to increase permanent members of the UNSC.
“We need SC that is more democratic, accountable, and transparent. Not a council that is an expanded club of the powerful and privileged,” he said.
He stressed peace and prosperity in Afghanistan, saying that Pakistan will assist to help resume the dialogue process with the Afghan Taliban.
He said ceasefire violations along LoC and Working Boundary are intensifying, adding that peace can only be achieved through dialogue, not disengagement
He said, “We look forward to welcome Palestine as a full member of UN.”
He further said, “We look forward to playing our part to build a brighter era of peace in South Asia. Pakistan neither wants to nor is engaged in an arms race in South Asia.”
Nawaz Sharif proposed four point agenda to defuse tension between Pakistan and India.
He proposed that Pakistan and India formalize and respect the 2003 understanding for a complete ceasefire on the Line of Control in Kashmir.
Three generations of Kashmiris have only seen broken promises, he said.
“Consultations with Kashmiris, are essential to evolving a peaceful solution,” he said.
For this purpose, he called for UNMOGIP’s expansion to monitor the observance of the ceasefire.
Secondly, he proposed that Pakistan and India reaffirm that they will not resort to the use or the threat of use of force under any circumstances.
He pointed out that this is a central element of the UN Charter.
Thirdly, the Prime Minister proposed steps be taken to demilitarize
Kashmir.
The Prime Minister said Pakistan and India should agree to an unconditional mutual withdrawal from Siachen Glacier, the world’s highest battleground.
Nawaz Sharif said an easing of threat perceptions through such peace efforts will make it possible for Pakistan and India to agree on a broad range of measures to address the peril posed by offensive and advanced weapons systems.

The Prime Minister declared that Pakistan neither wants to, nor is it engaged in, an arms race in South Asia.
He said as a responsible nuclear weapon state, Pakistan will continue to support the objectives of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
The Prime Minister said South Asia needs strategic stability and this requires serious dialogue to achieve nuclear restraint, conventional balance and conflict resolution.
Referring to the menace of terrorism, the Prime Minister emphasized the need to address the underlying causes of the challenge.
He pointed out that Muslims are suffering across the world: Palestinians and Kashmiris oppressed by foreign occupation; persecuted minorities; and the discrimination against Muslim refugees fleeing persecution or war.
