"The [Security Council members] have expressed serious concern over the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir," Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Zhang Jun said after the meeting. "They are also concerned about the human rights situation there."
June said that UNSC members felt that any unilateral action should be taken against Pakistan and India, which could further aggravate tensions.
Commenting on the silence of the Muslim world about Kashmir, Awan said, “The hearts of the Muslim countries have defeated us, but their business interests are elsewhere.
"They have invested billions of dollars in India," he added.
