NEW YORK, 10th May, 2025 (WAM)-- Following pronouncements of an end to hostilities between India and Pakistan, the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, said that the organisation stands ready to support efforts aimed at promoting peace and stability in the region.
The UN chief's statement, released on Saturday, came shortly after news broke of a decision by the two countries to de-escalate a situation that has caused widespread alarm in recent days.
The Secretary-General welcomed the ceasefire agreement as a positive step toward ending current hostilities and easing tensions, and said that he hopes the agreement will "contribute to lasting peace and foster an environment conducive to addressing broader, longstanding issues between the two countries."
