Pakistan Denounces India's 'Sabotage Efforts' on Trump's Peace Initiative

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Pakistani foreign affairs officials, led by Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, have been on a diplomatic tour of the world's major powers to present Pakistan's stance on the recent conflict with India. The conflict began in response to a deadly attack on tourists in occupied Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, which India blamed on Pakistan without providing evidence. The Indian government held the Indus Water Treaty in abeyance and heightened tensions with Pakistan, but the US intervened and brokered a ceasefire on May 10. Bilawal accused India of attempting to sabotage US President Donald Trump's peace efforts in the region, stating that Pakistan is willing to resolve all issues through dialogue.
