The diplomatic initiatives of Pakistan and India intervened after the two nuclear arms neighbors led cross-border attacks against each other following the pahalgam incident-where 26 tourists were killed in the Jammu-Jammu and the Indian Curse (IIOJK)-after which New Delhi launched Bunyan-Marso
Pakistan has shot down six IAF fighter planes, including three bursts and dozens of drones. After at least 87 hours, the war between the two nuclear nations ended on May 10 with a cease-fire agreement negotiated by the United States.
In his latest diplomatic interaction in the United States, Bilawal met the American senator Chris Van Hollen where he accentuated “the deep concerns of Pakistan concerning the increasingly bellicose posture of India and his refusal to engage, whether through dialogue, joint investigation or third-party facilitation”.
The politician, in accordance with a declaration on his X account, also that the unilateral suspension of India of the Industry Water Treaty (IWT) constitutes a serious violation of international obligations, threatening the livelihoods of 240 million Pakistanis.
He also praised the American commitment to regional peace and praised his role in promoting de -escalation and reaffirmed the lasting belief of Pakistan that sustainable peace in South Asia is possible, thanks to an inclusive dialogue which approaches all exceptional disputes, with Jammu and Kashmir at the heart.
Meanwhile, during her meeting with MP Sydney Kamlager-Dove, member of the Chamber of the Chamber’s Sub-Comeding in South and Central Asia, Bilawal had a frank discussion on peace and stability in our region.

Lifting concerns about recent provocations in India, deepening the humanitarian crisis in the IIOJK and the precedent alarming established by the unilateral suspension of the Industry Water Treaty, he stressed that there was no military solution to challenges that can only be met by diplomacy and dialogue.
Meanwhile, during their interaction with the Pakistani delegation, the members of the Congress urged the two countries to demonstrate restraint and prioritize regional peace and stability and reiterated American support for the people of Pakistan and their commitment to help the economic development of the country.
