ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 29th Apr, 2024) President Asif Ali Zardari on Monday said that strengthening the tourism sector of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) was significant to ensure the socio-economic uplift and generate economic activities in the area.

He said that AJK was blessed with immense potential for tourism and a beautiful landscape, which needed to be fully developed to attract tourists.

President Zardari remarked that the AJK youth needed to be equipped with the latest skills and education to help them find gainful employment, besides contributing to AJK’s development.
He said that Pakistan could assist the government of AJK in benefiting from the carbon credit markets.
During the meeting, the president assured of his support to the AJK prime minister and his government.
The AJK prime minister requested the president to visit AJK and address the AJK Legislative Assembly.
President Zardari also expressed grief over the loss of precious human lives during the recent rain-related incidents in different parts of the AJK and hoped that the AJK government would help the affected families.
The president also reiterated Pakistan’s commitment for continued moral, political and diplomatic support to the people of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) till the attainment of their right to self-determination.
Condemning the human rights violations and the atrocities being committed by the Indian occupation forces in IIOJK, he called upon the international community to put pressure on India to end human rights violations being committed by its security forces and implement the UN Security Council resolutions.
