Pakistan cautions India against future 'hostilities'
Gulf Today
|May 11, 2025
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed on Saturday evening that Pakistan and India have officially reached a ceasefire agreement after several days of escalating tensions.
His confirmation came soon after US President Donald Trump announced to mediate the ceasefire between the two countries.
Dar, while speaking with Geo News, stated that both Pakistan and India agreed to bring hostilities to a halt starting at 4:30pm as per Pakistan Standard Time on Saturday.
Dar reiterated Pakistan's willingness for a ceasefire. He, however, warned India against any aggression in the future and that it would be dealt with a firm response if the Modi-led government attempts mischief.
He extended gratitude to all countries that played a role in brokering the ceasefire, especially acknowledging efforts by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Dar added that diplomatic efforts had been ongoing throughout the day, which eventually led to the agreement this morning. “Pakistan has always worked for regional peace without compromising its sovereignty,” he remarked.
Earlier during the day, Pakistan said that in retaliation to Indian missile strikes, it quickly targeted at least 11 sites in India including the air bases in Pathankot, Udhampur, Gujarat, and Rajasthan and BrahMos storage site.
