New Delhi statement comes after US' Trump says he would work with India, Pakistan to resolve long-simmering Kashmir dispute - Anadolu Ajansı

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited an air force base in Adampur on Tuesday where he lauded Indian defense forces days after Indian and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire.

A series of military strikes last week by India and Pakistan brought the nuclear-armed rivals closer to a broader war.

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar says recent ceasefire between Pakistan and India is a result of the diplomatic efforts of different countries. In an interview with Sky News, he said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed his gratitude to President Donald Trump, who played a pivotal role in the ceasefire.

The Ministry of External Affairs press conference addressed recent developments in India-Pakistan relations. The MEA spokesperson clarified that Pakistan initiated the ceasefire after effective Indian strikes on key Pakistani Air Force bases.
