President of the Joint Personnel Heads Committee (CJCSC), General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, has requested the urgent resolution of the Kashmir Dispute between Pakistan and India, warning that the tensions between the neighbors threatened regional peace and security continued.
Representing Pakistan in the 22nd Shangri-la 2025 dialogue in Singapore, General Mirza emphasized the need for active and effective, bilateral, regional and global dialogue marks, to avoid conflicts instead of responding after climbing.
“The resolution of the Kashmir dispute in line with the resolutions of the UN Security Council is essential for lasting peace in southern Asia,” said General Mirza, describing the conflict as the “root cause” of lasting hostility between Pakistan and India.
The CJCSC criticized the recent actions of India regarding water flow management, accusing New Delhi of trying to arm shared water resources. “The use of water from India as a weapon of war is a clear violation of international law,” he said.
“Any attempt to block or divert the waters of Pakistan will be considered an act of war, according to the policy of the National Security Committee of Pakistan,” he warned. He reaffirmed that Pakistan was open to lasting peace with India, but such peace must be based on dignity, equality and mutual respect.
General Mirza expressed concern about the absence of reliable crisis management structures, noting that the lack of early action prevented the international community from intervening before tensions are spiralized.
“The situation from the Pahalgam incident is to endanger regional development. We need mutual restriction, recognition of red lines and balance to guarantee lasting peace,” he said. He asked world powers to help restore a formal dialogue mechanism between Pakistan and India, warning that the current emptiness increases the risk of calculation and climbing error.
