The Ministry of Kashmir Affairs & Gilgit-Baltistan (Urdu: وزارت امور کشمیر و گلگت بلتستان, romanized: vizārat-e-umūr kaśmīr va gilgit baltistān; abbreviated as MoKGB) is a ministry of the Government of Pakistan. It handles the regional affairs of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan as both territories of Pakistani-administered Kashmir do not have regular provincial status within Pakistan due to political circumstances revolving around the long-running Kashmir conflict.
