ISLAMABAD - Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Friday that the United States recognises the Kashmir issue. FM Qureshi said the US recognises Kashmir as a disputed territory which needs to be resolved. In a statement, he expressed satisfaction that the spokesperson of US President Joe Biden’s administration had clarified that there has been no change in their policy on Kashmir dispute. Earlier, Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said it was disappointed to note the controversial reference to Jammu and Kashmir in the US Department of State’s tweet regarding the resumption of 4G mobile internet in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Chaudhri said the reference was inconsistent with the disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir as recognized by numerous United Nations Security Council resolutions and the international community. The tweet in question welcomed India’s decision to restore access to 4G mobile internet service in ‘India’s Jammu & Kashmir.’ “This marks an important step for local residents, and we look forward to continuing political & economic progress to restore normalcy in J&K,” the State Department had commented.
