Islamabad, June 22, 2020 (PPI-OT): As the Modi government has intensified human rights violations in occupied Kashmir, Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, today, reaffirmed the Kingdom’s traditional support for the Kashmir cause. During a phone call, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and his Saudi counterpart agreed to remain in close contact to take forward the important bilateral agenda and close cooperation in various fields.
