Appreciating Pakistan's role in promoting the Kashmiris' just cause, the PM said, " Pakistan is a great sympathiser, an ardent supporter and advocate of Kashmiri people and their cause."
He said that Pakistan has fearlessly pleaded the case of Kashmir at the international level. He said that a strong, stable and prosperous country was a guarantor of Kashmiris' freedom. "The ultimate goal of the Kashmiri people is to become an invisible part of Pakistan", he said.
The prime minister said that Azad Jammu and Kashmir has huge potential for tourism, hydel-power generation adding that promoting AJK as a tourist destination was prime focus of the present government's policies.
