ISLAMABAD - The Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of Pakistan and India are scheduled to hold talks on hotline today as part of the ongoing efforts to ease tension between the two states.
In a televised interview, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar revealed yesterday that Pakistan was actively working to reduce hostilities with India and was open to engaging in dialogue. He confirmed that during a recent discussion on Thursday, both sides had agreed to extend the ceasefire until Sunday.
He added that several rounds of DGMOs-level talks have already taken place, and the next step would be formal negotiations — a process Pakistan was prepared to pursue.
He further stated that a fresh round of communication between Pakistan’s DGMO Maj Gen Kashif Abdullah and his Indian counterpart Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai is expected later today.
The DGMOs of the two countries had a first round of talks on May 12, two days after US President Donald Trump brokered the ceasefire between Pakistan and India following intense fighting.
It may be recalled that Pakistan and India agreed on a ceasefire on May 10 following the US pressure and four days of intense fighting.
