New Delhi – The Pakistani foreign ministry summoned a United States diplomat on Tuesday following remarks made by senior US official Sergio Gor on the status of Jammu and Kashmir. The Pakistani officials expressed strong displeasure, stating that Gor’s statements undermined the country’s position on the disputed region.
In its diplomatic protest, Islamabad’s representatives cited United Nations Security Council resolutions that address the Kashmir issue, urging the United States to respect the established international framework. The ministry emphasized that any external commentary should align with the UN’s guidance and the bilateral agreements between India and Pakistan.
The United States has not yet issued a formal response to the summons, and the matter is expected to be discussed in subsequent diplomatic channels. The incident adds to the already sensitive discourse surrounding Kashmir, a long‑standing point of contention between the two neighbours.
The Pakistani statement underscored its commitment to upholding the UN resolutions and called for responsible dialogue from all international actors concerning the region’s future.
