“We are ready for a dialogue with India to find out a solution to the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN resolutions,” he said.

He reiterated that Pakistan will continue moral, political and diplomatic support to the people of Jammu and Kashmir for their right to self-determination.

The President also urged the international community to play its role for a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute.

Pakistan, he said, had no “aggressive designs” against any country but maintained minimum deterrence for regional peace and stability.

“Pakistan is now much secure than the past because of the unprecedented sacrifices of our armed forces and the people.”
