UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Thursday called on India and Pakistan "to refrain from taking steps that could affect the status of Jammu and Kashmir".
"The Secretary-General has been following the situation in Jammu and Kashmir with concern and makes an appeal for maximum restraint," Spokesman for the Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, said.
He said the "position of the United Nations on this region is governed by the Charter of the United Nations and applicable Security Council resolutions."
