She said, “We will stand in solidarity with the people of Kashmir until they are able to exercise their right to self-determination, free from coercion, violence and intimidation,”
She further said, “Together, we will work towards a future where the Kashmiris can live with dignity, peace, where their rights are respected, and where their self-determination is a reality, not a distant dream.”
