Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that the belligerent statements of the Indian political and military establishment pose threats to peace and security in the region.

He was talking to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on telephone to update him on the deteriorating situation in India-occupied Jammu & Kashmir.  

On the occasion, the UN Secretary General underlined that he is closely monitoring the situation and would play his part in taking up these matters. 

Referring to Prime Minister Imran Khan's "Global Initiative on Debt Relief," for developing countries, Foreign Minister Qureshi underscored that debt relief is essentially a tool to help revive global economy. 

The UN Secretary General expressed his deep condolences on the crash of PIA-8303 flight and tragic loss of life.
