2015-11-07
UNITED NATIONS: The Foreign Minister, Mr Z.A. Bhutto, declared here at a Press conference yesterday that he was `completely satisfied` with the Security Council`s resolution adopted earlier in the day. He expressed the hope that if this determination of the Council members for a just and honourable progress were maintained a solution to the Kashmir dispute could be reached to save the sub-continent from [more] bloodshed.

Mr. Bhutto pointed out that Friday`s [Nov 5] resolution had reaffirmed `in all its parts` the Sept 20 resolution of the Council, Paragraph Four of which called for the settlement of the underlying political problem of the Indo-Pakist an conflict, namely, Kashmir.

The Foreign Minister gave the Press a detailed account of the background to the recent series of Security Council meetings on Kashmir which had culminated with the resolution yesterday. He said the Indians had tried tooth and nail to prevent the Council from meeting. And then when it did meet against vehement Indian opposition, India tried to put conditions on the proceedings of the meeting.

But there again India failed. Correspondent [Meanwhile, as reported by our Staff Correspondent from Karachi,] Mr Altaf Husain, Central Minister for Industries and Natural Resources, yesterday announced a hardcore Industrial Investment Schedule, envisaging an investment programme of Rs 352.19 crores for as many as 63 items of high priority industries in the private sector for the Third Five-Year Plan.
