US Calls on India and Pakistan to Seek Peaceful Resolution After Pahalgam Attack

The United States has called on both India and Pakistan to seek a “responsible solution” following the escalating tensions after the deadly attack in Pahalgam, located in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

A spokesperson for the US State Department confirmed that Washington had reached out to both New Delhi and Islamabad, closely monitoring the situation. “This is an evolving situation, and we are in touch with the governments of India and Pakistan at multiple levels,” the spokesperson said in an email to Reuters.

The US urged all parties to collaborate toward a responsible resolution. “The United States encourages all parties to work together towards a responsible resolution,” the spokesperson added.

After the Pahalgam attack, India accused Pakistan without presenting evidence, which led to the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and various countermeasures. In retaliation, Pakistan suspended trade with India, closed its airspace to Indian airlines, and declared Indian diplomats in Islamabad undesirable.

In response, Pakistan initiated proactive diplomatic efforts, offering support for an impartial international investigation and briefing foreign ministers worldwide on the situation.

China Reaffirms Support for Pakistan

Meanwhile, China has reaffirmed its support for Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack. The Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed full understanding of Pakistan’s security concerns and strongly supported its efforts to protect sovereignty and security.

China also reiterated its backing for a fair and timely investigation into the attack that killed 26 tourists in occupied Kashmir four days ago. The ministry emphasized the importance of impartiality in the investigation and called for both Pakistan and India to exercise patience and engage in dialogue to resolve their differences.
