MULTAN: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi termed India as the biggest hurdle to lasting peace in the region.
While speaking to journalists in Multan on Sunday, the foreign minister said that the establishment of sustainable peace and stability in the region is the first priority of the government, but India is disrupting those efforts.
"Prime Minister Imran Khan is serving as the ambassador of Kashmir, Palestine and the Muslim Ummah," said Qureshi, adding that the long-standing conflicts in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and Occupied Palestine must be resolved to attain peace in the world.
