Pakistan Issues 'Strong Demarche' to US over 'Irresponsible' Remarks by Ambassador in India on IIOJK Status

Pakistan condemned the remarks as factually incorrect and said they conflicted with Washington’s long-standing position on the disputed Kashmir territory.

  • On Wednesday, Pakistan summoned the United States Charge d'Affaires to Islamabad and lodged a "strong demarche" over remarks by United States Ambassador to India Sergio Gor regarding Kashmir's status.
  • During his first visit to Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, Gor described the region as "an important part of India," despite its disputed international status.
  • The Foreign Office rejected the characterization, underscoring that IIOJK remains an "internationally recognised disputed territory" awaiting disposition under United Nations Security Council resolutions.
  • Pakistan stated the "irresponsible statement" negated the United States' long-standing position on Kashmir, running contrary to Washington's commitment to the UN Charter and international law.
  • While appreciating President Donald Trump's previous offer to mediate, Pakistan urged the United States to ensure future public statements remain consistent with Kashmir's disputed status.
