ISLAMABAD: A high-level meeting of the civil and military leadership took stock of the regional security situation in the wake of aggressive Indian posturing that have posed a threat to peace and stability of the region.

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi chaired the high-level meeting on regional security at the Foreign Office, which was attended by Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on National Security Division Moeed Yusuf and Director General Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lieutenant-General Faiz Hameed among other senior military and Foreign Ministry officials.

The meeting discussed in detail the ongoing Indian aggression in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the overall security situation in the region as well as the Afghan peace process, according to the media office of the foreign minister.

Speaking on the occasion, Foreign Minister Qureshi said that India's Hindutva ideology and aggressive policies had endangered regional peace and stability.

He said that India continued to target civilian population by ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LOC) to cover up its internal weaknesses, and the grim human rights violations in the occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Qureshi said that Pakistan had been raising the issue of violations of human rights in the occupied valley by India at every global and regional forum, including at the United Nations.

He once again urged the international community to take notice of the aggressive behaviour of India.

Qureshi stated that India also wanted to sabotage the ongoing efforts for restoration of peace and stability in Afghanistan.
