Islamabad: The Chairperson Peace and Culture organization and wife of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chairman Yasin Malik – Mushaal Hussein Mullick has commended Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg for raising the long-pending Kashmir issue during her recent official visit to India.
In her statement issued here on Saturday, she eulogized the Norwegian Prime Minister for showing her interest in providing help to find out solution to the Kashmir issue. Mushaal said that Norway has long history and experience of playing active mediatory role in settling the bloody and intractable conflicts such as in Colombia, Sri Lanka and Palestine. Hence, she said that since being a neutral country, Norway can play a vital role in easing the rising tensions between India and Pakistan that could eventually lead to resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
She said that I was warmly welcomed on the formal invitation by Former Prime Minister of Norway Kjell Magne Bondevik President Oslo Centre and Aamir Shiekh Senior Leader Conservative Party to Oslo in April 2018. “I was given a very warm and memorable welcome in Oslo, where a series of meetings were conducted by Kjell Magne Bondevik and Aamir Shiekh with various think tank heads, Professors, Experts, Intellectuals, Peace and Human rights organization Heads, Members of Foreign Affairs Committee of Norway’s Parliament, Leaders of Political parties in Norway’s Parliament etc,” she added.
Mullick said that a talk was organized at the Literature House by the Oslo Centre to discuss the sufferings of Kashmiri People under Occupation and the way forward towards a Peaceful Settlement.

She said that Norwegian Prime Minister Kashmir’s remark is a clear reflection of the official stance of the government of Norway, as Norway has always raised voice in support of Kashmiris and conflicts around the world at every fora.
