China Friday raised the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan at the United Nations General Assembly, saying it should be resolved as stipulated in UN Security Council resolutions. "The Kashmir issue is a dispute left from history, and should be properly and peacefully resolved based on the UN Charter, relevant UN Security Council resolutions and bilateral agreements," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the 193-member Assembly.

China , he said, opposes any unilateral actions that complicate the situation- a reference to India's illegal annexation of occupied Kashmir and the military clampdown on the disputed state. He said China hopes to see return of stability to the region. Meanwhile, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in his address to the UN General Assembly on Friday also urged the settlement of Kashmiri issue as par the resolution of the UNSC.
