While I appreciate efforts to highlight human rights, we must remember that Kashmir is an integral part of India. Any discussions should respect India's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The diaspora engagement is crucial. Many Kashmiris living abroad have valuable perspectives. Hope the conference focuses on peaceful solutions rather than political posturing.

As someone who has worked in humanitarian fields, I believe dialogue is essential. However, all parties should be involved for any meaningful resolution to the Kashmir issue.

The youth engagement mentioned is particularly important. Young Kashmiris need education and opportunities, not conflict. Hope this conference addresses their future prospects.

While international forums can raise awareness, real change must come from within the region through dialogue between India and Pakistan, respecting the aspirations of Kashmiri people.
