- David Lammy in Great Britain says that working with us to ensure that the Indian-Pakistan cease-fire
- Lammy says that Great Britain would continue to work with Pakistan to counter “terrorism”
Islamabad: The British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, David Lammy, urged “all parties” on Saturday to respect their treatments as a treaty, referring to the moving of India last month to hold the Industry Water Treaty (IWT) with unilateral Pakistan.
Delhi’s suspension of his participation in the IWT in 1960 was part of his series of measures against Pakistan, which he blamed, without any evidence, for a deadly attack in the Pahalgam of the occupied cashmere. Pakistan strongly denied any involvement and offered a neutral probe.
“We urge all the parties to comply with their bonds treated,” Lammy told Reuters in Islamabad at the end of his two -day visit, when he questioned the suspension of India on April 23 of the (IWT), potentially pressing the water supply of Pakistan.
The 1960 pact governed the use of the Industry river system. Pakistan said that he would consider “any attempt to stop or divert the flow of water belonging to Pakistan” as an “act of war”.
Islamabad plans to launch international legal action against India during its decision. The Pakistani Commission on Indus waters earlier this month shared a detailed relationship with the federal government on massive TFI violations by New Delhi.
During his interview with Reuters, Lammy also said that Great Britain was working with the United States to ensure a cease-fire between India and Pakistan.
“We will continue to work with the United States to make sure that we get a lasting cease-fire, to ensure that dialogue occurs and to work with Pakistan and India how we can get confidence and confidence strengthening measures between the two parties,” said Lammy.
“These are two neighbors with a long history, but these are two neighbors who were barely talking to others during the last period, and we want to make sure that we do not see an additional escalation and that the ceasefire lasts,” he added.
Pakistan said that Great Britain and other countries, in addition to the United States, have played a major role in the disamotization of fighting. Diplomats and analysts say the ceasefire remains fragile.
Lammy also said that Great Britain would continue to work with Pakistan to counter “terrorism”, saying that it is “a terrible burn on this country and its people, and of course in the region”.
The United States saved the nuclear war probably Pak-India: Trump
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said Washington had avoided what could have been a nuclear war between Pakistan and India.
The military confrontation between India and Pakistan came while tensions on Pahalgam attack allegations continued to accumulate. During the night of May 6 to 7, New Delhi launched a series of air strikes in Punjab and Cashmere of Azad, which led to civilian victims. Islamabad responded by lowering five Indian jets.
After intercepting the drones sent by India and the Tit-For-Tat strikes on the bases of the other, it took an American intervention for the two sides finally their weapons. On May 10, when tensions between the two countries culminated, Trump announced that a cease-fire had been reached between India and Pakistan.
“The situation had increased to the point where the nuclear war could have broken out,” said Trump in an interview with Us Outlet Fox News on Friday.
Answering a question about the fact that the two countries take a step back from the edge of the war, Trump described it as “more important success than I would never have been credited”.
“These are major nuclear powers (…) and they were angry. (…) It was a chickadee, it was going deeper and more missiles,” he said. He added that the next step would have been “the N-word”, responding to the affirmative to the host confirming that he meant “nuclear”.
“It’s the worst thing that can happen,” said Trump. Referring to the discussions he had said with Pakistan and India on trade, the American president said: “I use trade to settle scores and make peace.”
Trump said he had great conversations with Pakistan. “You know that we cannot forget them because it takes two in Tango.”
“So proud of what we are able to do with India and with Pakistan,” said the American president.
He continued that Pakistan would love to exchange with the United States. “They are brilliant people. They make incredible products. We don’t do much with them. ”
While the United States has imposed heavy levies on dozens of allies and rivals on April 2, Pakistan was hit by a 29% tariff on the goods it exports to the United States. The government said it was looking for means to treat the existing commercial imbalance between the two countries.
On trade with New Delhi, Trump said India was one of the very pricing nations, which makes you almost “impossible to do business”.
However, India is ready to reduce 100% of its prices for the United States, he added. “This agreement will come soon,” said the president.
On Thursday, he said that India had offered a trade agreement that proposed “no price” for American products.
This interview was the third time in a week that the American president expressed his intention to deepen trade links with Pakistan and India.
“We are going to do a lot of trade with Pakistan … and India,” said Trump earlier this week, recalling that he had warned the two countries to “do no business” if they were keeping fighting. One day after the ceasefire, he said that he was going to “considerably increase trade with these two large nations”.
The United States commercial ceasefire has stopped a week of record climbing between Pakistan and India while the latter took a series of unlikely military actions despite Islamabad’s call to a neutral investigation into India’s allegations on Pahalgam’s attack.
Trump said that after the ceasefire had been struck, talks should take place in a third country location, but no date or place of talks have been announced.
