Pakistan reiterates peace initiative with India, calls ceasefire a 'strong commitment'

International News: After the recent limited military conflict between India and Pakistan, the diplomatic tone is now changing. Pakistan has formally announced that it is fully committed to a ceasefire with India. But is this a genuine initiative for peace or just a diplomatic step taken under pressure?

Equations changed after Operation Sindoor

After India's "Operation Sindoor" across the border, there was intermittent firing between the two countries for four days. In this operation, Indian military troops targeted several Pakistani military bases, including some "potential nuclear locations." Even though Pakistan did not confirm this, these bases were mentioned in international intelligence reports.

Pakistani statement: Appeal for peace or strategic silence?

Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said in a statement that "We are serious about the ceasefire. The DGMOs of both the countries are in constant touch with each other." This statement has come at a time when Pakistan's internal situation is also under pressure-economic instability, lack of foreign investment, and international monitoring of the security system.

Emotional card on Kartarpur

The special thing is that Pakistan has claimed that it will not close the Kartarpur corridor "even for a single day." Whereas the movement of passengers from the Indian side has been stopped since May 7. Pakistan is showing this as an example of religious tolerance, but in diplomatic circles it is being considered an attempt to improve its image.

Bold statement on Indus Water Treaty

When India raised the Indus Water Treaty for reconsideration, Pakistan adopted a tough stand. Khan clarified, "There is no such provision in this treaty that one party can end it unilaterally." Pakistan considers it a question related to its existence and is preparing to take it to international forums.

Statement on the security of nuclear weapons

Pakistan reacted for the first time to the news of an Indian attack on nuclear locations in the media. Khan said, “All our nuclear weapons are safe. The international community should be concerned about India's aggressive nuclear stance.”

The politics behind this ceasefire announcement is as complex as the strategy of war. Efforts for peace in India-Pak relations should be welcomed, but history is witness that trust is built by conduct, not just statements.
