We have received the news with sorrow that a terrorist attack targeting a convoy of security forces in Jammu Kashmir resulted in many losses of lives and left many wounded today.

We condemn this heinous attack. We extend our condolences to the families of the deceased and to the people and Government of India, and wish speedy recovery to the wounded.

We are deeply concerned about the increasing tension and casualties occurring recently in Jammu and Kashmir and hope that the problem will be settled through dialogue and within the framework of the relevant UN resolutions.
