New York: The Secretary-General Antonio Gutterres has welcomed the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan as a positive step toward ending current hostilities and easing tensions, his spokesman Stephance Dujarric said.
He hopes the agreement will contribute to lasting peace and foster an environment conducive to addressing broader, longstanding issues between the two countries, the spokesman added.
The spokesman added that the United Nations stands ready to support efforts aimed at promoting peace and stability in the region.
Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has expressed his gratitude to U.S. President Donald Trump for his proactive and constructive role in promoting peace and stability in the South Asian region.
In a message posted on X today, the Prime Minister stated that Pakistan deeply appreciates the U.S.-facilitated ceasefire, which it has accepted in the broader interest of regional peace and stability.
“This development marks a potential turning point in addressing long-standing issues that have hindered the region’s progress toward lasting peace, prosperity, and stability,” he remarked.
Prime Minister Sharif also extended his thanks to U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for their significant and valuable contributions toward this diplomatic breakthrough.
