Washington, DC: Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, Ambassador of Pakistan to the United States, and Rana Muhammad Qasim Noon, Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, held an interactive session with media representatives at the Pakistan Embassy on September 28, 2026.

The Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir is a special body of the National Assembly of Pakistan that advocates for the people of Jammu and Kashmir at international institutions such as the United Nations.

After visiting the US Capitol following engagements at the 81st UN General Assembly, Chairman Noon briefed journalists on developments and the way forward regarding the Kashmir dispute. 
Reaffirming Pakistan’s “moral, diplomatic and political” support for the Kashmiri people, the chairman stressed that lasting peace in South Asia depended on a “just resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, in accordance with the prescribed solution enshrined in the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.”
Addressing the group, Ambassador Sheikh underscored that the Kashmir dispute remained firmly entrenched in the United Nations and other international frameworks and “a peaceful resolution was indispensable to regional as well as global peace, security and stability in an increasingly interconnected world.”
