Kashmir Issue was raised again by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during his address to the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. Erdoğan said disputes in South Asia, including Kashmir, should be addressed through dialogue and within the framework of the UN Charter and relevant UN resolutions. The Turkish president said resolving the Kashmir dispute was important for peace and stability in South Asia. His remarks marked another occasion on which he has raised the issue during his UN General Assembly addresses. India has rejected Erdoğan’s position, maintaining that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and that the issue does not require third-party mediation. New Delhi has also called for India-Pakistan issues to be addressed bilaterally.

Pakistan has consistently called for the Kashmir dispute to be resolved in accordance with relevant UN resolutions, while India rejects international involvement in the issue. The 81st UN General Assembly’s high-level general debate is being held in New York from 22 to 26 September, with world leaders discussing international peace, security and other global issues.
