at 11:45 AM

The Directors General of Military Operations of India and Pakistan held another phone call on Wednesday where they agreed to keep the ceasefire between the two countries in place.

Pakistan’s DGMO Major General Kashif Abdullah and India’s DGMO Lt. General Rajiv Ghai agreed to maintain status quo between the two countries as agreed in the previous call on May 12.

Pakistan and Indian had agreed to a ceasefire on May 10 after Pakistan launched Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, hitting 26 military targets across India including an S-400 Air Defence System and a BrahMos storage site. Pakistan’s operation came after India attacked multiple air bases in Pakistan with missiles following a barrage of kamikaze drones.

The ceasefire between India and Pakistan had been brokered by the United States and had been announced by President Donald Trump himself.

A report by Geo News said on Wednesday that several countries are in touch with both Pakistan and India to encourage confidence building measures so that direct dialogue between the two countries can take place.

The report also added that direct negotiations between Pakistan’s National Security Advisor Lt. General Asim Malik and Indian NSA Ajit Doval is one of the options under consideration.

PM Shehbaz Sharif called on India to engage in comprehensive dialogue over Kashmir and Water. However, he reiterated that Pakistan is ready for bot dialogue and war.
