Three days after the European
Union delegation distanced itself
from the resolution of Kashmir
issue, the Arab League today said
it has "no position" vis-a-vis the
issue.
"League of Arab States has no
position on the specific question
of Jammu and Kashmir...We look
forward for peaceful coexistence,
tolerance and dialogue among
different civilisations," Arab
League Ambassador to India
Ahmed Salem al Wahishi told
reporters on the sidelines of a
conference here.
Wahishi refused to elaborate on
his statement.
The Arab League Ambassador's
statement comes three days after
a European Union delegation led
by the Union's Ambassador to
India Danielle Smajda said the
Kashmir issue has to be resolved
by the people living in the region
themselves.
Wahishi said the Arab League
wanted peace in West Asia and
the entire continent.
"We want peace to last in West
Asia, in South Asia and in whole
of the continent," he said.
Earlier speaking at the "Peace
Conference" organised by the
Jammu and Kashmir Peace
Foundation, Wahishi called for
an end to the Israeli
"occupation" of Arab territories
and supported the call for
Palestinian freedom.
"We also took this opportunity
to express our thanks to the
Indian government for their
principled position in efforts for
justice and peaceful solution to
the Arab-Israeli conflict based on
international legitimacy and the
Arab peace initiative for
Palestinian independence and
two-state solution," Wahishi said.
In his speech, the Ambassador
said Kashmir is the "most
preferred tourist place in the
world."
"It is a real paradise," he said
adding "the state of Jammu and
Kashmir has passed through the
violent situation of confusion and
hatred for the last 20 years. We
follow these sad events."
