The people of Kashmir should not lose hope as we have achieved a lot during the last four months, she added.
Pakistan is able to untiringly take the Kashmir dispute to international forums when people at the ground have stood firm and willingly taken the responsibility of taking the mission to a logical conclusion,” she pointed out.
