United Nations Responds to De-escalation Efforts by India and Pakistan

A significant development has taken place between India and Pakistan, as both nations have agreed to an immediate ceasefire, raising hopes for a reduction in tensions along the border. This peaceful initiative was welcomed by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.

On Saturday, the United Nations issued a response on the matter. Guterres’ Deputy Spokesman, Farhan Haq, stated that the Secretary-General welcomes all efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions.

“We are monitoring the situation. However, we welcome all efforts aimed at reducing tensions,” Farhan Haq told the Press Trust of India (PTI).

In recent days, both countries have carried out attacks on each other's military installations. In this context, the agreement on a ceasefire is seen as a noteworthy step. The continuing conflict had escalated significantly, pushing the dispute between the two nations to dangerous levels.

United States President Donald Trump stated that the ceasefire agreement was facilitated through American mediation.
