US envoy’s Kashmir ‘part of India’ remark rattles Pakistan ties

The United States' ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, made a brief but significant comment during his visit to Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, stating that the region is 'an important part of India.' This remark was quickly picked up by Pakistani authorities, who summoned the U.S. ambassador in Islamabad, Natalie Baker, to formally protest the statement. The issue of Kashmir remains a deeply sensitive and contentious topic in South Asian geopolitics, as both India and Pakistan claim sovereignty over the entire region. The dispute has historically led to multiple conflicts, including three wars and ongoing border tensions since the partition of British India in 1947. Currently, India controls the majority of the territory, including the central and southern parts of the Kashmir Valley, while Pakistan administers the western regions of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
