Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Friday that Islamabad will present evidence in the case of convicted Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on February 19, reported Express News.
Speaking at a reception in Manchester, the foreign minister further said that the country's legal team will present its stance in the case and added that the Indian spy has already confessed to being involved in terrorist activities carried out in Pakistan.
Pakistan has concrete proof against Kulbhushan, will win case in ICJ: FM
In 2018, the ICJ, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, decided to hold public hearings in the Jadhav case, from February 2019.
In July 2018, Pakistan submitted its second counter-memorial to India’s arguments on the conviction of the RAW agent before the world court.

A month later, Qureshi said Pakistan has concrete proof against Indian spy Jadhav and will triumph in the ICJ.
Commander Jadhav was captured in Balochistan in March 2016 and he later confessed to his association with Indian intelligence agency — Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) — and his involvement in espionage and fomenting terrorism in Pakistan.
In early 2017, the field general court-martial sentenced Jadhav to death, which was confirmed by Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Bajwa. On January 23, 2018, the ICJ gave a timeline to both Pakistan and India to file another round of memorials in the case.

In 2016, Jadhav also confessed his crime to his family during a meeting with his mother Avanti Jadhav and wife Chetna in Islamabad.
According to The Times of India, the family did not expect this reaction from Jadhav to their first meeting in almost two years. The report added that his mother stopped him from confessing to his crimes.
Jadhav met his mother and wife in Islamabad on December 25, 2016 — their first meeting since his arrest from Balochistan on charges of espionage and terrorism.
