Dr. Farooq welcomes Indo-Pak brigade commander-level meeting at LOC in Poonch

Srinagar, 11 Apr (PTK): The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr. Farooq Abdullah Friday welcomed the recent India and Pakistan brigade commander-level flag meeting along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district.

The meeting was held to address issues related to border management.

The meeting, which took place at the Chakan-Da-Bagh cross-point and was led by brigadier-level officers from both sides, was praised by Dr. Farooq for its potential to enhance understanding between the two nations. He emphasized the importance of continuing such talks to maintain open communication and negotiation channels between the two nuclear armed nations.

Dr. Farooq stressed the need for both countries to work towards peace and cooperation, as a climate of mistrust and discord between them hinders progress towards developmental goals in the entire region.

He called on the neighbouring country to take concrete steps towards peace in order to create a more suitable atmosphere for further cooperation between the two countries.

In the meantime Dr. Farooq Abdullah offered Friday congregational prayers at Asar-e-Sharif Dargah Hazratbal. He prayed for lasting peace and prosperity in J&K, Ladakh. (PTK)
