Pakistan has said that the UN Security Council’s Annual Report for 2025 has highlighted the continued relevance of long-standing disputes including the Question of Palestine and the Jammu and Kashmir disputes.

This was stated by Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN Asim Iftikhar Ahmad while speaking during the presentation of the Security Council’s Annual Report to the General Assembly.

The Ambassador said Pakistan believes that durable peace in South Asia requires a just settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the Security Council and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people, who must be allowed to exercise their right to self-determination promised to them by the Security Council and the international community.

Asim Iftikhar Ahmad also reaffirmed Pakistan's unwavering support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, for an independent, viable and contiguous State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders, and Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
