British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said on Saturday that the United Kingdom is working with the United States to help preserve the fragile fire between India and Pakistan and to promote the measures of dialogue and construction of trust between the two nations with nuclear weapons.
Speaking at the end of a two -day visit to Pakistan, Lammy said Reuters That maintaining peace among the rivals for a long time is still a priority after the recent climb, the worst in decades, which saw both countries exchange missile fire. El Alto el Fuego, negotiated through Swift International Diplomacy on May 10, is still dim.
“We are committed to ensuring that this fire is maintained, that dialogue resumes and that both parties move towards the significant construction of trust,” Lammy said in Islamabad.
Pakistan has accredited the United Kingdom, the USA and other global actors for performing key roles in the ease of tensions that exploded after an attack against tourists in Jammu and Cashmira illegally occupied (Iiojk). India blamed Pakistan for the incident, an accusation that Islamabad denies.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, suggested that the dialogue after fire should take place in a neutral place, although a date or location has not yet been completed.
Lammy underlined the United Kingdom support to the continuous execution of the India Water Treaty after India suspended its participation last month. Islamabad has warned that interrupting water flow could be seen as an act of war.
“We urge all parties to honor their treaty obligations,” Lammy said.
He also reaffirmed Great Britain’s commitment to support Pakistan in his fight against terrorism, describing it as a serious threat to both the country and for regional stability.
On Friday, David Lammy made an unchanged visit to Islamabad in what seems to be part of international diplomatic efforts to find direct conversations between nations with nuclear weapons after his four -day military fight.
Lammy had formal conversations with the Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ishaq Dar, and also met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The United Kingdom was one of the countries that played a role in the correction of the high fire between Pakistan and India on May 10.

The sources said that the United Kingdom Foreign Secretary would also travel to New Delhi as part of international diplomatic efforts to consolidate the truce.
A statement issued by the high British commission confirmed that the main objective of its trip was to discuss the ongoing tensions between Pakistan and India.
The tensions between Pakistan and India recently exploded after an attack in Pahalgam, India illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk), killed 26 people. India blamed Pakistan without providing evidence, triggering a series of reprisal movements, including the suspension of the Water Treaty of the Indo, the cancellation of visas and the reduction of diplomatic ties.
Pakistan rejected the accusations and responded with reciprocal steps, such as stopping trade and closing his airspace to Indian airplanes. The conflict intensified on May 7 with attacks by Indian missiles in multiple cities in Punjab and Ajk, killing dozens of civilians.
Pakistan responded by demolishing several Indian jets and neutralizing drones attacks. On May 10, the attacks by Indian missiles attacked the Pakistani air bases, which caused a reprisal campaign, the Bunyan Marsoos operation, which hit Indian military sites.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced a high fire, after diplomatic efforts during the night, and was then confirmed by officials from both sides.
But despite the high military fire, the war of narratives has fought.
While Pakistan publicly accredited the president of the United States, Donald Trump, together with China and the Gulf states, for playing a vital role in the disable of tensions, India minimized foreign participation.
Indian officials insisted that the truce was the result of direct bilateral conversations, with the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Randhir Jaiswal, clarifying that trade was never part of the discussions with US officials.
However, Trump has reiterated his position twice after the initial announcement.
