New York (Web Desk): Pakistan has called for strengthening the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP).
Speaking at the United Nations Security Council’s (UNSC) debate on peacekeeping operations, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN Dr Maleeha Lodhi said the efficacy of UNMOGIP has become more significant due to multiple ceasefire violations by the Indian armed forces along the Line of Control (LoC).
