Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today visited Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) as the nation observes Kashmir Solidarity Day.

"We are committed to a peaceful resolution of Kashmir dispute based on United Nation resolutions. We can't forget our Kashmiri brethrens," Sharif was quoted by Samaa tv as saying while addressing joint session of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly and Kashmir Council in Muzaffarabad.

Sharif said peace could only be forged in South Asia through resolution of Kashmir issue.

"This region requires a new vision for peace. People of this region want peace, especially Kashmiris who are looking towards Pakistan and India for a peaceful solution," Sharif added.

 

President Mamnoon Hussain, who was also present at the event, said that peace in the region would remain elusive until the resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
