On the eve of Youm-e-Istehsal, August 5, 2023, CJCSC, Services Chiefs, and Pakistan Armed Forces stand in solidarity with the brave and resilient people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in their just struggle for the right to self-determination according to UN resolutions.
The continuation of inhumane military lockdown, illegal measures to change the demographic structure of the occupied territory, and gross and systematic human rights transgressions are all manifest violations of international law. Such actions, coupled with Indian government’s belligerent rhetoric and hostile actions, continue to perpetuate humanitarian and security crises in IIOJK and pose a perpetual threat to regional security.
Resolution of the Kashmir dispute according to UN Resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people is imperative for enduring peace and stability in the region. 
Pakistan Armed Forces pay rich tribute to the martyrs of IIOJK for their supreme sacrifices and affirm full support of Pakistan for providing political, moral, and humanitarian support to Kashmiris in their just struggle against tyranny and illegal subjugation.
