The military is making the dispute more complicated rather than solving it.

Guterres requested both Pakistan and India to restart the conversation process and try to escape the military route. He believed that the situation could be worse until the two sides take steps towards peace.

Pakistan's statement: "Our voice got a place on the global stage"

After the meeting, Permanent Representative Asim Iftikhar Ahmed, a permanent representative in the United Nations of Pakistan, while talking to the media, said that the meeting gave Pakistan an important opportunity to put its view on the international stage. He alleged that India's unilateral steps and inflammatory statements have further increased regional instability.

India's answer: "Pakistan's purpose is only propaganda"

Former permanent representative of India, Syed Akbaruddin, sharply opposed Pakistan's allegations, saying that the meeting would not move towards any concrete solution. He described Pakistan's effort as a means of making headlines only in international media. Akbaruddin also said that India is fully aware of its security and will give a proper answer to any kind of incorrect information or inflammatory rhetoric.

Increasing concern over Indus Water Treaty

At this time, diplomatic efforts are more needed so that regional stability can be maintained and no country follows the path of military conflict.
