ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar, said that Marka-e-Haq proved to be a defining moment of national strength and strategic clarity for Pakistan.
“Marka-e-Haq reaffirmed Pakistan's sovereignty, territorial integrity and national dignity,” said the Pakistani diplomat in a message on the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq on Friday.
Ambassador Iftikhar said that Marka-e-Haq also made clear that aggression cannot be disguised as a "new normal", nor can false narratives be allowed to manufacture legitimacy for coercion or conflict in South Asia.
He further said that Pakistan always desired peace, but peace cannot rest on denial, violation of international law and unilateralism.
“Durable stability in South Asia requires the peaceful settlement of disputes, including the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, in accordance with the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people,” he explained.
Ambassador Iftikhar assured that Pakistan will continue to promote dialogue, diplomacy, cooperation and peaceful coexistence, guided by the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter.
“This commitment was also reflected in the Pakistan-led, unanimously adopted Security Council Resolution 2788 on strengthening mechanisms for the peaceful settlement of disputes in July 2025.
