In a major diplomatic breakthrough, India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire, following overnight negotiations reportedly mediated by the United States. The announcement came early Saturday from U.S. President Donald J. Trump via his official Truth Social account.
“After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”— Donald J. Trump via Truth Social
The announcement follows weeks of escalating tensions along the Line of Control in Kashmir, where both nations exchanged artillery fire, raising fears of a wider conflict.
As of publication, neither India’s Ministry of External Affairs nor Pakistan’s Foreign Office had issued official confirmation or detailed terms of the ceasefire. However, President Trump’s statement has positioned the United States as a central player in facilitating dialogue between the two South Asian rivals.
According to Trump’s post, the discussions lasted through the night and resulted in mutual agreement to halt all hostilities.
This move is likely to be welcomed by the international community, which has consistently urged restraint from both sides. Experts caution, however, that sustainable peace will require ongoing diplomacy and trust-building efforts.
More details are expected as official statements emerge from New Delhi and Islamabad.
