Islamabad: President of Pakistan Ex-Servicemen Society (PESS) Lt Gen (Retd) Abdul Qayyum has said that Pakistan’s Kashmir policy needs a reset, stressing that “we need to be proactive rather than reactive.”

According to Global Mirror, Abdul Qayyum expressed these views while addressing a seminar on Kashmir, attended among others by Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir Rana Muhammad Qasim Noon, Senator Dr Zarqa Taimur and Chairman of National Assembly Standing Committee on Defence Sardar Fateh Ullah Khan.

In his address, Abdul Qayyum highlighted what he described as four major international nuclear flashpoints: the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Middle East situation, including Israeli aggression, the Kashmir-Indo-Pak conflict and the South China Sea confrontation between China and the United States.
