A few days after the India-Pakistan ceasefire, the United States has urged the two countries to maintain direct communication in the interest of maintaining regional stability.
Speaking at the daily press briefing, the State Department spokesman Tommy Pigot reiterated that the Donald Trump administration is ready to help maintain peace in the area. He said, “We urge both sides to maintain direct communication to maintain regional stability.”
Pigot welcomed the “ceasefire” between India and Pakistan and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif for showing the “path of peace” and “Shakti, intelligence and patience”.
The spokesperson repeatedly emphasized that Washington is focusing on two things regarding India-Pakistan status: direct communication between the ceasefire and the two countries.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump spoke on the issue in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he is in the first phase of his three -phase visit to West Asia. He once again reiterated how he persuaded the two countries to end hostility using the greed of trade with the US.
Asked whether External Affairs Minister Marco Rubio has received any commitment from Pakistan to root out terrorism with External Affairs Minister Ishaq Dar and Army Chief Aseem Munir, Pigot said, “I am not going to talk about private diplomatic conversation. What I can say is that we are saying that we have welcomed the weekends between India and Pakistan, we are saying that we are saying for the last few days, We were very clear to the Prime Minister to choose the path of peace.
On rejecting India’s American proposal of mediation, Pigot said, “Okay, I am not going to speculate on it. I can just say that we can say direct dialogue. We are clear on this. We are clearly encouraged. Are.”
He also did not comment on the report of radiation leakage at Pakistani atomic sites. On April 22, India’s retaliation against terrorists in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor to avenge the terrorist attack in Pahalgam turned into a military conflict. However, on May 10, the two countries agreed that the matter would not be carried forward.
