Saudi Arabia has given a big blow to Pakistan on Kashmir issue. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud has described Kashmir as a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan. Not only this, he also said that India and Pakistan will have to resolve this issue through dialogue. This statement of the Crown Prince came in a joint statement during the visit of Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif to Riyadh. Till now Pakistan has been agitating for a referendum under the United Nations on the Kashmir issue. But India has been supporting bilateral talks on this issue since the beginning. However, political relations between India and Pakistan have been at a low point for the last few years due to terrorism.
what saudi arabia said
In a joint statement, Saudi Arabia stressed on dialogue between Pakistan and India to resolve outstanding issues between the two countries, especially the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, to ensure peace and stability. Following the visit of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Shahbaz Sharif, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan said in a joint statement that Shahbaz Sharif and Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud held an official meeting at the Al Safa Palace in Mecca Al Mukarrama on 7 April 2024.
The Crown Prince congratulated Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on his victory in the elections and wished him all the best for his tenure. Shahbaz Sharif, in turn, thanked Saudi Arabia for its strong support and hospitality and reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to enhancing bilateral relations and economic cooperation.
Let us tell you here that Pakistan had a lot of hope that this time Saudi Arabia would support them on the Kashmir issue, but in the joint statement, the Saudi Arabian PM clearly said that the issue of Jammu and Kashmir is bilateral and between India and Pakistan. We should talk and find a solution. Now the thing like Amjawa is that India's stand on this issue is also very clear that it does not want any kind of mediation on the Kashmir issue. India has never allowed any third country to interfere. Now Saudi Arabia has also given the biggest blow to Pakistan by respecting India's stand. Let us tell you that Pakistan's new Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is currently on a tour of Saudi Arabia.
This is not the first time that Pakistan has tried to corner India on the international stage on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. But every time he has to suffer serious insult and still he does not improve.
