WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the United States is closely monitoring the Pakistan-India situation despite the halt in hostilities under a ceasefire agreement following the recent deadly conflict between the rival countries.
The secretary of state pointed to the relations between Pakistan and India while discussing how fragile ceasefire arrangements can be, highlighting the difficulties of sustaining truce agreements in conflict zones.
Speaking in an interview, Rubio noted: “Every single day we keep an eye on what’s happening between Pakistan and India, what’s happening between Cambodia and Thailand. Ceasefires can fall apart very quickly, especially after a three-and-a-half-year [Russia-Ukraine] war like what we’re facing now.”
He added that while Washington continues to push for a truce in Ukraine, lasting peace can only be ensured through a negotiated settlement rather than temporary halt in hostilities.
