India Rejects Turkish President's Remarks on Kashmir at the UN General Assembly
Anonymous
India rejected Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s remarks on Kashmir at the U.N. General Assembly, calling the references unwarranted and saying the issue concerns India’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, with no role for outside parties. Erdoğan had called for disputes in South Asia, including Kashmir, to be addressed through dialogue under the U.N. Charter and relevant resolutions. New Delhi reiterated its longstanding opposition to third-party involvement in the matter.
Key Points
1
Erdoğan’s latest Kashmir reference was his seventh at the U.N. General Assembly since 2019, according to Moneycontrol; the article says he began raising the issue after India revoked Jammu and Kashmir’s special constitutional status in August 2019.
2
ANI reported that Türkiye, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement on August 7, a trilateral pact pledging mutual defence against armed attacks; the report noted it preceded Erdoğan’s U.N. remarks.
3
India’s response also invoked the Shimla Agreement, with ANI reporting that Indian officials said India and Pakistan are committed to resolving bilateral issues peacefully without third-party intervention.

MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal separately said cross-border terrorism was a major concern and that countries needed to come together to fight what he called a global menace.
