Islamabad:
Russia joined the global choir of calls to India and Pakistan to turn off tensions over low heat caused by the mortal Pahalgam Rampage while Pakistani leaders communicated with more world leaders in their diplomatic impulse in progress to discourage the situation.
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar to discuss tensions over low heat that threaten to trigger military hostilities between the two archives.
“They discussed issues of Russian-Indian cooperation and the aggravation of Indian-Pakistani relations after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam,” said Ani de India citing a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
“Sergey Lavrov asked to resolve disagreements between New Delhi and Islamabad bilaterally by political and diplomatic means according to the provisions of the 1972 Simla Agreement and Lahore’s declaration of 1999,” he added.
The Lavrov call occurred one day after the EU Foreign Policy Chief, Kaja Kallas, telephoned the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ishaq Dar and the Minister of External Affairs of India, Jaishankar, to “urge both parties to show restrictions and seek dialogue to relieve the situation.” The United States vice president JD Vance also said that his country expected India’s response to Pahalgam’s incident “not to lead to a broader regional conflict.”
Despite its historically warm links with India, which goes back to the era of the cold war, Russia’s emphasis on diplomacy suggests caution when New Delhi’s inclination towards Washington is not worth it.
While the main US leaders, including President Donald Trump, strongly condemned the attack, labeling it as “terror” and “inconceivable”, did not explicitly sign up for the finger to Pakistan. Unlike the previous administrations that easily invoked the rhetoric of the “nuclear flash point” on Kashmir, Trump’s warm comments also suggested a remarkable urgency cooling.
The diplomatic impulse of India lost more steam while struggling to publicly offer evidence to corroborate her accusation of Pakistan’s participation in Pahalgam’s murders. The lack of tangible evidence threw a long shadow of doubt, and what New Delhi expected it to be a scream of meeting, on the other hand, became a groan.
Meanwhile, Islamabad has been working on phones, reaching friendly states and western nations, making sure that its history is registered while India armed the Treaty of the Indo’s waters. On Saturday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reiterated Pakistan’s demand for a neutral investigation, accusing India of launching accusations without foundation.
During a meeting with the Ambassador of the Republic of Turkiye, Dr. Irfan Neziroglu, the prime minister emphasized the condemnation consistent and mainly of Pakistan terrorism “in all its forms and demonstrations,” according to a statement issued by his office.
“India has not yet responded to Pakistan’s offer to have a credible, transparent and neutral international investigation to determine the facts behind the Pahalgam incident,” he said, stating that Pakistan was fully prepared to cooperate with such research and “welcome if Turkiye joined it.”
Prime Minister Shehbaz also expressed his gratitude to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his “strong statement that supported Pakistan during the prevailing situation in southern Asia” and his consistent call to peace in the region.
The Turkish envoy transmitted Ankara’s appreciation for the position of Pakistan’s principles and reiterated Turkiye’s solidarity. He also advocated restriction and decalcalation, underlining the importance of preserving peace in southern Asia.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ishaq Dar, spoke with his Greek counterpart George Gerapetritis by telephone and informed him about the situation evolving, rejecting what he described as the “accusations without foundation of India, campaign of misinformation and illegal unilateral measures” that he warned, which they were listing peace in the region.
“He [FM Dar] He strongly condemned the unilateral decision of India to celebrate the Treaty of the Water of the Indo in suspense, a shameless violation of his international obligations, “said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement. GIVING also urged the need for an” independent and transparent investigation to establish the facts. “
FM Gerapetritis recognized the dangers of climbing, supported Pakistan’s proposal for neutral investigation and stressed the need for diplomatic restriction. The two leaders also agreed to maintain a close coordination on regional issues and global forums, particularly in the UN Security Council, where both serve as non -permanent members.
In another key range, FM Dar spoke with the Swiss federal councilor and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ignazio Cassis, to inform the deteriorated security environment, “expressing a serious concern about the recent provocative actions of India, including the unfounded accusations, inflammatory propagand A violation of international legal obligations, “according to the press release of a foreign position.
FM Dar reiterated Pakistan’s call for credible international investigation and assured that Islamabad was still committed to exercising restriction, without compromising their sovereign rights or national interests.
FM Cassis praised the measured approach of Pakistan, supported the research proposal and offered the “good offices” of Switzerland to facilitate a fair and impartial process. Both parties agreed to remain in a narrow consultation as the crisis was developed.
