The United Nations Security Council held closed-door informal consultations on Kashmir Friday but did not grant Pakistan a formal and open meeting of the apex body that it had demanded, with a right to address the body.
“Thwarted,” said a top UN diplomat in a one-word response.
The council listened to briefings and reports presented by UN bodies at the consultations that lasted just over an hour.
Members expressed “serious concerns” about the situation in Kashmir and urged all parties to not take unilateral action that could aggravate the situation further, an official of the Chinese permanent mission to the UN told reporters after the consultations that China had called in support of Pakistan.
