Colonel Muammar Gaddafi fiercely attacked the US and its allies, labeling them imperialist forces intent on destroying the freedom and independence of small countries. He urged the Non-Aligned Movement to devise a robust plan for collective defense against US imperialism and break all diplomatic relations with the US, UK, South Africa, and Israel. Concurrently, President Zia-Ul-Haq raised the Kashmir issue at the eighth Non-Aligned summit. Zia emphasized Pakistan's desire for tension-free relations with neighbors and promoting friendly ties with India.
