Addressing a ceremony held at the US Embassy in Islamabad in connection with the celebration of 249th anniversary of the US Independence, the prime minister said that a ceasefire was established between Pakistan and India, and we hope it will be long-lasting and durable, enabling us to promote cooperation in investment, trade and other sectors.

He said that the recent conflict between Pakistan and India, which lasted for four days, established the fact that "Pahalgam incident was a false flag operation." Had this been something different than what he was stating, India should have come out with solid evidences and convinced the world, he said.

The prime minister said that at the Kakul Academy event, he had offered an international credible and transparent probe into the Pahlagam incident so that the world should see and sift through reality and fiction. "Our sincere offer was responded with aggression but Pakistan showed a lot of tolerance and patience," he said, adding on May 6-7, 33 Pakistanis were martyred in the Indian aggression, including children, elders and scores of others among the injured.
