United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam.
“I understand the raw feeling following the Pahalgam attack on 22 April. I once again strongly condemn the attack and extend my condolences to the families of the victims," Guterres said.
He went to emphasize that those responsible for the attack must be brought to justice through lawful means.
Guterres pointed out that the tensions between India and Pakistan are “highest" in recent years. “It pains me to see India-Pakistan relations reaching a boiling point," Guterres said.
“I deeply respect and am profoundly grateful to the governments and people of both countries and their significant contributions to the work of the United Nations, not least UN peacekeeping. And so it pains me to see relations reaching a boiling point," he said.
