Relations have been tense between the nuclear-armed nations ever since India’s attempt to unilaterally annex occupied Kashmir on August 5, 2019.

Since then, India has issued thousands of domiciles to Indian citizens in occupied Kashmir, in an attempt to alter the demographics of the territory.

Pakistan has protested and reiterated its support for the people of occupied Kashmir and called on the world to restrain New Delhi from its atrocities in the region.
