Pakistan on Saturday raised the Kashmir issue at a committee of the United Nations, saying that the "decolonisation agenda" of the world body would be incomplete without resolution of the problem.
Pakistan has objected to the exclusion of Jammu and Kashmir from a list of disputes under the observation of the Security Council in a speech made by UK's top diplomat in an annual debate on UNSC reforms in New York.
In a significant development, Jammu and Kashmir has been removed from the UN list of unresolved disputes, giving a setback to Pakistan which has been asking the world body to intervene on the issue.
"You can change friends but not neighbours," Atal Bihari Vajpayee famously said this 15 years ago.
