Gilgit-Baltistan
"You are getting your identity today. It is your right and has been your demand, and today we are fulfilling it."

The official poistion of Pakistan has rejected Gilgit–Baltistani calls for integration with Pakistan on the grounds that it would prejudice its international obligations with regard to the Kashmir dispute.
