[6][7][8] In May 2017, the United Kashmir People's National Party (UKPNP) held a conference in Brussels to discuss the political situation in the region.

During the conference, the party released a statement that aimed to highlight the efforts of the Pakistani administration to convert Gilgit Baltistan into the fifth province of Pakistan.

The party has called for a more proactive approach towards resolving the Kashmir issue and has urged the international community to play a more active role in facilitating dialogue between India and Pakistan.
