On the issue of disarmament and non-proliferation, the Foreign Minister said, “We believe that this should be pursued in an equitable and non-discriminatory manner.

“Asymmetric build-up of conventional weapons and espousal of aggressive doctrines, impact negatively on regional security... We have consistently pursued a policy of conventional and nuclear restraint, along with conflict resolution in South Asia. We reaffirm our proposal for a Strategic Restraint Regime as an important modality to promote the cause of peace, stability and security in our region.”

Pakistan has the brazenness to talk of arms race, I mean, lets reconsider for a moment-

-Singularly continues to block treaty to ban production of fissile material, used as fuel for nuclear weapons
-Non-Signatory to the NPT.
-Espousal of aggresive doctrines, I suppose the FM is willingly unknowing of Pakistan's first use policy; and mention of Indian aggresiveness is a bit bizarre considering no first use policy on our side.

Mentioning Kashmir is just the expression of frustration on internationalizing the issue, which has been hopeless for his Govt.

By the various comments coming from Pakistan, it seems the very existence of Pakistan is depended on Kashmir, and they have no other issues. I think, they should tackle the menace of terrorism first, and then sit down for any meaningful discussion.

As long as the policy of the country is influenced or affected by the terrorist elements, noone can have trust on Pakistan, as what one leader say today might not be what the next one saying, all due to pressure from extremists..!!!

If Pakstan has noticed, nobody is really listening. The world realizes that Pakistan has much more to worry about than shedding crocodile tears about Kashmir while remaining silent on repression of Muslim minorities by their allies and best friends.
In this day and age, Kashmiris have a lot going for them- opportunity to practice and express their religion and culture PEACEFULLY, an opportunity to elect leaders to govern them, a chance to travel to, and settle anywhere in India (even though nobody else from India can do the same in Kashmir).

The GOI is bending over backwards to accommodate this minuscule minority because of the noise they are making. An improvement in governance and security is needed, and they need to co-operate to live and let live.

As a responsible Indian, and a state subject of J&K of I empathize with Kashmiris and understand they have legitimate grievances. But 'talli ek haath se nahi bajti'....it takes two hands to clap. At some point if Kashmiris do not get their act together (with the rest of India)and keep listening to mischief-mongering neighbors that promise a nebulous 'Azadi' with revenge for past actions as the hidden motive......

If this BS continues......I see myself supporting a repeal of Art 370 of the Indian constitution and a deliberate policy of ethnic dilution. Let the Merchants come in, buy out Kashmir, and turn it into an amusement park.

UNITED NATIONS – The Organisation of the Islamic Conference stands for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute through negotiations between India and Pakistan on the basis of the United Nations Security Council resolutions, the head of OIC has said.

“Our position on the Kashmir dispute is parallel to the United Nations,” Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Secretary General of OIC, told correspondents during a press conference at UN Headquarters in New York on Monday afternoon.
Responding to a question, he said the OIC cannot bridge the differences between the parties concerned because India does not recognise the role of the organisation in the dispute. On other subjects, Ihsanoglu called on the international community to counter hatred, intolerance and discrimination against Muslims everywhere, saying that the acts of a few extremist fanatics were being used to associate Islam with terrorism.

He said that during their Annual Coordination Meeting, held last Thursday in New York, OIC Ministers for Foreign Affairs had adopted a declaration on countering Islamophobia. The declaration, among other things, expressed deep concern over the growing violent acts against Muslims in some Western societies and called for global awareness of its dangerous implications for world peace and security.

Negative stereotyping on the basis of religion, faith or race was wrong, he said. Terrorism and anti-Western and anti-American views could not be associated with Muslim countries and Islam anymore than the burning of the Holy Quran could be equated with the United States and Christianity.

“We are against these hate-mongering campaigns,” he said. He lauded the United States government and community and religious leaders for speaking out against and preventing the recently proposed “burn a Quran day” from becoming a reality. “We think that, in this case, American public opinion has shown a great maturity; the American administration has shown great responsibility.”

On the Middle East peace process, he said Israel should suspend all settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territory. OIC supported direct talks between the Israelis and Palestinians and it continued to support the Arab Peace Initiative aimed at normalising relations between Arab countries and Israel, in exchange for Israel’s full withdrawal from the Occupied Territory and creation and recognition of an independent Palestinian State.

“We’re for a peaceful vision whereby a Palestinian state with its capital as East Jerusalem lives side by side with the State of Israel,” he said. “The problem is nobody knows whether Israel shares this vision or not.”

In the past 20 years, one Israeli administration after another had demanded and won concessions from their Palestinian counterparts, but then refused to make good on promises to them, saying they were not responsible for the agreements of preceding administrations. “I think now it’s high time for everybody to honour their commitments and we are supportive of President [Mahmoud] Abbas’ position on this case,” he said.

He stressed the need for peaceful coexistence among all religious groups in the region and a two-state solution, adding, “We should not really punish the Palestinian people because there was a Holocaust in Germany.”

Asked if OIC would accept a Jewish state of Israel next to a Palestinian state when the Palestinian Authority President had not, he said the matter was for the Palestinian leadership and that OIC would support whatever it decided.

He said ridding the region of WMD was the best way to reduce tension, conflict, bloodshed and competition for armament. Double standards on disarmament must end. “We have to have one yardstick,” he said, stressing that no country should be exempt from weapons inspections and all must abide by the same rules set by the Security Council, IAEA and other international bodies.

Moreover, nuclear disarmament must be integral to the peace process. Asked about the Iranian President’s statement last week calling for a UN investigation into the 11 September 2001 attacks and saying that most people believed the US Government had orchestrated those attacks, he said he disagreed with that assessment.

The problem is nobody cares what IOC says..And in Kashmir's case India cares nobody.

India would not listen to the arguments at all. Useless to waste time on it. Pakistan government and the OIC Should think of a better treatment.

Thinking is such a waste of time. "Minding their own business" would be better for Pakistan and IOC.
