It further reaffirmed its support with the people of the battered and disputed region while also calling for the communications blackout to be restored and the curfew to be lifted.

Furthermore, it recognized the need for the issue to settle as per the United Nations Security Council resolutions while also stressing on a need for dialogue between India and Pakistan for peace to sustain in the region.
