ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Minister for Kashmir Affairs, Gilgit-Baltistan, and State & Frontier Regions (SAFRON), Engineer Amir Muqam, chaired a meeting on Thursday to review preparations for Kashmir Black Day on October 27.

During the meeting, federal ministries, representatives from Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) government briefed the minister on the arrangements for Kashmir Black Day.
Ghulam Muhammad Safi, Convener of the All-Party Hurriyat Conference, commended the expression of solidarity with the Kashmiri people and praised the current government’s efforts under Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, who consistently highlights the Kashmir issue on international platforms.
Safi concluded by stating that representatives of the All-Party Hurriyat Conference would actively participate in rallies for Kashmir Black Day across the country and in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
