India, Pakistan Ceasefire Involves Global Mediation

India and Pakistan agreed to a comprehensive ceasefire effective from 5 PM IST on May 10, 2025, halting all military actions on land, air, and sea following days of deadly cross-border strikes and heightened nuclear tensions. The ceasefire was mediated not only by U.S. President Donald Trump but also involved diplomatic efforts by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the UAE, and dozens of other nations. Top military officials from both countries coordinated the truce, which was confirmed by India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. Both governments emphasized their commitment to regional peace while maintaining defensive readiness. The ceasefire was welcomed internationally, including by the UAE, and prompted calls within Pakistan for domestic political reconciliation. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level security meeting after the announcement to underscore ongoing vigilance.
