Great Britain is working with the United States to ensure that a ceasefire between India and Pakistan has lasts and that “confidence strengthening measures” and the dialogue take place, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said on Saturday.
Pakistan said that Great Britain and other countries, in addition to the United States, have played a major role in the disamotization of the worst fights for decades between the rivals of South Nuclear Asia, which broke out last week. A rapid diplomatic effort to negotiate the ceasefire succeeded on May 10, but diplomats and analysts say that he remains fragile.
“We will continue to work with the United States to make sure that we get a lasting cease-fire, to ensure that dialogue occurs and to work with Pakistan and India how we can get confidence and confidence strengthening measures between the two parties,” Lammy told Reuters in the capital of Pakistan Islamabad at the end of a two-day visit.
Pakistan and India have pulled missiles in the territory of the other for weeks of tensions after a fatal attack against tourists in the contested region of cashmere that New Delhi blame in Islamabad. Pakistan denies its participation.
US President Donald Trump said that after the ceasefire, talks should take place in a third country location, but no date or place of talks have been announced.
“These are two neighbors with a long history, but these are two neighbors who were barely talking to the others during the last period, and we want to make sure that we do not see an additional escalation and that the ceasefire Dureau,” said Lammy.
Asked about the suspension of India from the Industry Water Treaty, potentially supporting the water supply of Pakistan, Lammy said: “We urge all parties to comply with their treatments.”
Delhi said last month that he had “referred” to his participation in the 1960 pact, which governs the use of the industrial river system, a movement that Pakistan says that it would consider an act of war if it disrupted access to water in the dependent agricultural nation.
Lammy said that Great Britain would also continue to work with Pakistan to counter “terrorism, saying that it is” a terrible burn on this country and its people, and of course in the region “.
“Obfusccation” by Russia on Ukraine
Lammy accused Moscow of obscuring after the interviews between Ukraine and Russia on a possible ceasefire ended with less than two hours and Trump said that “nothing could happen” until he met Russian president Vladimir Putin directly.
“Once again, we note the obscure on the Russian side and the reluctance to put itself seriously the lasting peace which is now required in Ukraine,” said Lammy. “Once again, Russia is not serious.”
“When are we saying enough, is it enough?” He said.
