Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his army chief General Raheel Sharif had a telephonic conversation about Kashmir issue, prior to former’s speech at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.
The statement by Prime Minister Sharif’s Office spokesperson said that conversation took place last night.
“The Prime Minister and General Raheel Sharif had a telephonic conversation in which they discussed … the prevailing regional situation,” Dawn quoted the statement as saying.
Sharif is in New York attending the 71st session of the United Nations General Assembly session.
Reports suggest that the conversation was the first between the two since Sunday’s militant attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri region, in which 18 Indian Army soldiers were killed and as many injured.
Sharif would today deliver a speech at the UNGA in which he is likely to focus on the Kashmir issue.
Reports suggest India would also raise the Uri attack in its speech later this month.
