Turkish President Erdogan Raises Kashmir Issue in UNGA Speech: 'Should Be Addressed Through Dialogue'
Erdogan said the dispute should be handled through dialogue and UN resolutions, arguing the international community has paid too little attention.
- On Tuesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed the 81st UNGA in New York, urging that Kashmir and disputes in South Asia be resolved through dialogue under the United Nations Charter.
- The Turkish president has frequently raised Kashmir at the UNGA, including prominent remarks at the 74th session in 2019, shortly after India abrogated the special constitutional status of Jammu and Kashmir.
- Regarding the issue, India maintains that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country and that outstanding disputes with Pakistan should be addressed via the Simla Agreement and Lahore Declaration.
- New Delhi subsequently objected to the remarks, though the Ministry of External Affairs notes that India and Turkey have maintained diplomatic ties since 1948, with cooperation spanning trade, investment, and defence.
- Erdogan continues to argue that the international community has failed to pay sufficient attention to the dispute, positioning the Kashmir issue as a critical matter for global diplomacy in South Asia.
