Islamabad: Even as Pakistan’s foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Tuesday that he has spoken to his UAE counterpart regarding Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) invite to India, the powerful group “condemned” India’s “action against an OIC founding member state.”
On the request of Pakistan, the OIC summoned an emergency meeting of its Kashmir Contact Group at its General Secretariat in Riyadh on Tuesday. The Contact Group expressed deep concern over the heightened tension and called for immediate de-escalation in the region, the Foreign Office said.
In a tweet, the OIC “condemned” India’s “action against an OIC founding member state.”
“OIC called upon both parties to act responsibly & encouraged them to seek peaceful solution to current crisis without resort to use of force. It also called on them to embrace dialogue & work towards de-escalation of current situation,” it tweeted.
