Message of President Asif Ali Zardari on the Kashmir Solidarity Day
5 February, 2026

The people of Pakistan across the globe observe Kashmir Solidarity Day to reaffirm our unwavering moral, diplomatic and political support for our Kashmiri brothers and sisters in their just cause to achieve the right to self- determination as enshrined in the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. It was Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto who began the observance of this day 36 years ago, following the historic uprising of the Kashmiri people in 1989, a struggle that continues to this day.
For nearly eight decades, the valiant Kashmiri people have stood tall against the illegal Indian occupation and have rendered countless sacrifices. On this day, we pay solemn tribute to their indomitable spirit and resilience.

The situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) remains a matter of grave concern for global conscience. Since the illegal and unilateral actions of 5 August 2019, India has intensified its efforts to consolidate its occupation through administrative and legislative manipulation. By muzzling the media, incarcerating the Kashmiri leadership and attempting to dilute the Muslim majority through demographic changes, India seeks to disempower the Kashmiri people in their own land.

Indian occupation forces also continue to commit countless human rights violations in IIOJK. The findings of recent international reports highlight the alarming rise in arbitrary detentions and collective punishment. The use of punitive house demolitions and the ongoing suppression of digital freedoms, including the blocking of thousands of social media accounts, are clear attempts to hide the reality in IIOJK.

The recent profiling of mosques and mosque management committees in IIOJK constitutes deliberate intimidation by the Indian authorities, aimed to obstruct the free exercise of religion by the Muslim majority population. Such actions form part of a broader pattern of religious persecution under the extremist Hindutva framework. The Kashmiri people have the inalienable right to practice their religion without fear, coercion or discrimination.
The dangerous military escalation initiated by India in May 2025 serves as a stark reminder that true and durable peace in South Asia remains impossible unless the core dispute of Jammu and Kashmir is resolved.

I urge the international community to move beyond mere expressions of concern for the Kashmiri people and persuade India to stop the human rights violations in IIOJK, allow unfettered access to international human rights observers and grant the Kashmiri people their promised right to self- determination.
On this day, I reiterate that we will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Kashmiri people until they realize their right to decide their own future through a free and impartial plebiscite.

Message of the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Kashmir Solidarity Day,
5th February 2026

Every year, 5th February is observed as Kashmir Solidarity Day, an occasion where the people and the Government of Pakistan reaffirm their principled and unwavering support for their Kashmiri brothers and sisters in their just struggle for the realization of their right to self-determination.

The Jammu and Kashmir dispute remains one of the oldest unresolved disputes on the agenda of the United Nations. Over the years, several United Nations Security Council resolutions have established, beyond doubt, the disputed status of the territory of Jammu and Kashmir, while prescribing that its final disposition must be made in accordance with the will of the Kashmiri people, expressed through a fair and impartial plebiscite. However, for nearly eight decades, the Kashmiri people have been denied this fundamental right, due to India’s intransigence.

Even after decades of bloodshed, brutality and barbarity, the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) remains a hostile environment, marred by heavy militarization, total repression and egregious human rights violations. Arbitrary political detentions, suppression of genuine political activity and severe restrictions on media, have become India’s routine instruments to silence dissent in IIOJK.

On 5 August 2019, India took a host of illegal and unilateral administrative and legal measures, in an attempt to consolidate its forcible occupation of IIOJK. These measures not only contravene the UN Charter, but completely defy the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the Fourth Geneva Convention. Such hollow attempts by India to carry out demographic re-engineering, or to alter the legal and administrative status of Kashmir, cannot absolve it from its international commitments and obligations, nor could they diminish the inalienable rights of the Kashmiri people.

India’s illegal actions in IIOJK, are driven by Hindutva ideology that seeks to normalize discrimination, curtail religious freedoms and criminalize dissent. The ongoing profiling of mosques and their management committees in IIOJK represents a grave violation of the right to freedom of religion and highlights the discrimination faced by the Muslim population. Regrettably, the Indian occupation has moved beyond military repression to ideological coercion, aimed at silencing and disempowering an entire people.

Despite enduring decades of oppression, the brave and valiant Kashmiri people, refuse to surrender their legitimate aspirations. Pakistan salutes their heroic resilience, courage, and sacrifices.

As Prime Minister of Pakistan, I have been a strong advocate for the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people at every international forum including the United Nations General Assembly.

On this Kashmir Solidarity Day, I reassure my Kashmiri brothers and sisters that Pakistan will continue to extend its complete moral, diplomatic, and political support to the Kashmir freedom struggle, until the Kashmiri people succeed in attaining their right to self-determination through a free and impartial plebiscite, as promised to them under the auspices of the United Nations.

Inshallah, the days of darkness shall give way to the dawn of freedom, and that day is not far, when the people of Jammu and Kashmir shall break the shackles of Indian occupation and live their lives in a future free from fear.

Right to Self-Determination Day (5 January 2026),
Message from the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif

Today, as we commemorate the “Right to Self-determination Day”, we solemnly reaffirm our unwavering support for the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in their just struggle for the right to self-determination. The 5th of January serves as a powerful reminder of the historic commitment made by the international community, enshrined in the United Nations Security Council resolutions, to uphold the right to self-determination for the people of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
On 5 January 1949, the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) adopted the landmark resolution, which unequivocally stipulated that the final disposition of the State of Jammu and Kashmir, would be decided through a free and impartial plebiscite under the auspices of the United Nations. Sadly, this commitment remains unfulfilled to this day, as the resolution has never been implemented, due to India’s illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir.
The people of IIOJK have witnessed nearly eight decades of ordeal at the hands of Indian occupation forces. Their suffering has exacerbated manifolds since 5 August 2019 when India undertook illegal and unilateral measures, as part of its systematic campaign to transform the demographic and political landscape of the IIOJK.
India has made consistent efforts to silence the genuine leadership of the Kashmiri people and muzzle the media. The number of Kashmiri political prisoners remains in thousands, while sixteen political outfits have been outlawed by occupation authorities. Meanwhile, profiling and harassment of innocent Kashmiris, arbitrary detentions, and the so-called ‘cordon and search’ operations have become a norm in the occupied territory.
Nevertheless, all Indian coercive measures have failed to subjugate the will of the people of IIOJK or suppress their quest for the right to self-determination. The people of Pakistan salute their indomitable courage, commitment and resilience, in the face of Indian atrocities.
The world must also recognize that a just resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, is the only way to achieve durable peace in South Asia. We urge the international community to urgently call upon India to halt its widespread human rights violations in IIOJK, reverse its unilateral and illegal actions of 5 August 2019, repeal the draconian laws and give the right to self-determination to the Kashmiri people, as enshrined in the United Nations Security Council resolutions.
To our Kashmiri brothers and sisters, Pakistan will continue to extend its unwavering moral, political, and diplomatic support to your cause, and will continue to serve as your voice at every available platform.

New Year Message from President Asif Ali Zardari
President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
Message on the New Year- 1st January 2026

***

My fellow compatriots,

As we enter 2026 and the second quarter of this century, I convey my warm greetings to you, the people of Pakistan including our overseas Pakistanis and the international community.

As we approach our 79th Independence Day, it should be a moment for national soul-searching and collective resolve. Beyond individual New Year resolutions, we must recommit ourselves as custodians of Pakistan’s shared future.

We live in an era marked by wars and conflicts, proxy wars, extremism, xenophobia, populist fascism, out of control population growth, economic turbulence, climate emergency, food and water insecurity, disinformation, and extreme social polarisation. Pakistan is not immune to these challenges, but we are not helpless either. With unity, resilience, creativity and faith, we can overcome them.

The global landscape is shaped by inflation, supply chain disruptions, debt pressures, trade wars and competition over future technologies. Economic sovereignty demands discipline over denial, productivity over populism, exports over excuses and inclusive growth over crony capitalism. Investment in education, healthcare, youth, creativity, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies is essential for our survival and progress.

Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it is a national security challenge. Floods, droughts, water scarcity and extreme heat have become a new normal. Adaptation must advance alongside mitigation.

In an age of monetised disinformation and engineered polarisation, our strongest defence lies in critical thinking, media literacy, democratic tolerance and national cohesion. We must reject all forms of extremism and renounce violence in every form, whether religious, ethnic, political, ideological, armed, sectarian or digital.

I also wish to speak candidly about our internal political climate. Democracy thrives on disagreement conducted with civility and responsibility. Political expression must strengthen, not weaken, state institutions. I urge all political forces to engage constructively in Parliament for the betterment of the people. No political cause should allow itself to be exploited by hostile forces seeking to undermine Pakistan’s stability or sponsor terrorism. This is not the time to turn on the heat. It is the time to turn on the light.

As the symbol of the unity of the Federation, I remain ready to lead a process of national reconciliation and healing, to bridge divides, restore trust and bring all democratic forces firmly back onto the constitutional path. Pakistan needs cooperation, not confrontation.

Earlier this year, Pakistan faced a serious security challenge. The unity of our people and the professionalism of our armed forces ensured the defence of our sovereignty. Pakistan’s defence remains robust and credible. While we remain committed to peace, let there be no ambiguity: the defence of Pakistan is non-negotiable, and any existential threat will be met with full national resolve and might of 250 million Pakistanis.
I would also like to emphasise that weaponisation of water by India is not only a violation of an internationally recognised agreement but also of international law, and Pakistan reserves the right to address this issue through all possible means.

Pakistan will continue to act as a responsible member of the international community, a peacemaker and a stabilising force through bilateral and multilateral engagements. Pakistan remains ready to resolve all outstanding disputes with India peacefully, including the right of self-determination of the Kashmiri people, in accordance with international commitments. We also urge the de facto authorities in Afghanistan to honour the Doha Accord and ensure that Afghan soil is not used against neighbouring states.

As this new phase of the century unfolds, we hope for an end to global conflicts, including the Ukraine–Russia war. We reaffirm our unwavering support for the Palestinian people and their right to an independent, sovereign state with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.

Let this New Year be one of restraint over rage, unity over division and renewal over despair.

Pakistan Zindabad.

Message of Prime Minister of Pakistan on the eve of New Year

Greetings to all Pakistanis at home and abroad.

As 2025 draws to a close, we look back with gratitude and humility, and move ahead with renewed resolve.

The past year has tested our nation in many ways, but it has also reaffirmed our collective strength and self-belief.

Through perseverance, discipline, and difficult yet necessary decisions, we have worked to stabilize the economy, restore confidence, and place Pakistan firmly on the path of economic recovery and sustainable growth.

These achievements have not come easily. They are the result of the hard work, patience, and sacrifices of the Pakistani people.

I salute you for your resilience and your faith in the future of our country.

Over the past year, we responded to the aggression of enemies and countered the menace of terrorism with matchless courage and bravery, both on the battlefield and in negotiation rooms. Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir demonstrated exemplary military leadership that the whole world has come to respect and admire. We are immensely proud of our army, our air force and our navy who taught our enemy that wars are won with heart and not by hubris.

We have also taken meaningful steps to strengthen economic fundamentals, improve governance, expand social protection, and lay the groundwork for long-term development. From fiscal discipline and structural reforms to renewed momentum in investment, exports, and energy security, Pakistan has begun to move forward with renewed confidence.

Our efforts are guided by our collective resolve to build a stable, self-reliant, and prosperous Pakistan that delivers opportunity and dignity to every citizen.

This year also reminded us of the enduring spirit of our nation. We commemorated historic milestones, honoured our martyrs and heroes, and renewed our commitment to peace, unity, and national solidarity.

Innovation, technology, and human capital remain central to our national journey. We are investing in education, skills, digital transformation, and emerging technologies to empower our youth and unlock Pakistan’s immense potential. From agriculture and industry to information technology and renewable energy, we are determined to raise productivity, encourage innovation, and create jobs as sustainable growth begins with opportunity and hope for our young people.

We also remain committed to nurturing Pakistan’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage. Our traditions, arts, and diverse cultural expressions are a source of strength and pride. We must ensure that our values, identity, and social cohesion continue to flourish alongside progress.

At the heart of all our efforts lies the well-being of our people. We are expanding social safety nets, improving healthcare and education, supporting farmers and workers, and ensuring that growth is inclusive. When every household feels secure and hopeful, the nation grows stronger.

Pakistan continues to engage the world with confidence and responsibility. We remain committed to peace, regional stability, multilateral cooperation, and a rules-based international order. At a time of global uncertainty and conflict, Pakistan will continue to advocate dialogue over confrontation, development over division, and cooperation over unilateralism.

With unity, discipline, and hard work, we shall build a Pakistan that is economically strong, socially just, and resilient in the face of challenges.

The journey may be long, but our resolve is firm.

As the sun of the New Year rises, may our beloved motherland stand tall in dignity and strength. May our fields yield abundance, our homes be filled with peace, and our nation move forward in the light of hope and opportunity. May every Pakistani enjoy a life of purpose and achieve success in their endeavours. May all your dreams find fulfillment.
