MIRPUR, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th Jun, 2026) The banned Jammu & Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee's core member, Shoukat Nawaz Mir, has, in a detailed statement, appreciated the Government of Pakistan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Chief of Defense Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, praising what he described as their “constructive and responsible role” in promoting regional and global peace and diplomatic engagement.

In the statement released on Wednesday, Shoukat Nawaz Mir, the core member of the proscribed outfit, referred to recent international developments, including reported diplomatic efforts involving the defusing of war between the United States and Iran, and commended Pakistan’s stance in supporting dialogue-based solutions to international conflicts. He said that Pakistan has consistently advocated peaceful resolution of disputes through negotiation, mutual respect, and diplomatic engagement.

Mir said that his JKAAC values any positive progress toward peace and reconciliation between global powers and acknowledged Pakistan’s “positive and responsible diplomatic role” in promoting stability in the region and beyond.

Extending its focus to domestic matters, the committee's core member emphasized that similar diplomatic engagement should be applied to ongoing tensions in Azad Jammu and Kashmir between the Joint Awami Action Committee and the AJK state government.

He expressed hope that Pakistan’s leadership could play a mediating role in breaking the current deadlock in negotiations and facilitating a mutually acceptable and sustainable resolution.

The statement further reiterated that peaceful dialogue, mutual respect, and prioritizing public interests remain the only viable path toward resolving disputes.
