America has made a big statement regarding India-Pakistan. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that his country ‘monitors’ the activities happening between India and Pakistan every day, because the ceasefire between the two countries can break very soon. Rubio said in a program that the only way to ceasefire is that the conflicting parties agree to stop firing at each other.
In addition, he said that one of the complications of ceasefire is that it has to be maintained, which is very difficult. I mean, we monitor every day what is happening between Pakistan and India, what is happening between Cambodia and Thailand.
Efforts for a permanent ceasefire
The US Secretary of State said that ceasefires can break very quickly, especially after the (Ukraine) war that has been going on for three and a half years, but I don’t think anyone would disagree that we are not trying for a permanent ceasefire. Our goal is to reach a peace agreement so that there is no war now and no war in the future.
Mention of military conflict between India and Pakistan
At the same time, in an interview given to Fox News, Rubio once again mentioned the recent military conflict between India and Pakistan, about which President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that he stopped it. Rubio said that I think we are very lucky and we should be grateful to a president who has made peace restoration a priority of his administration.
We have seen it in Cambodia and Thailand. We have seen it in India-Pakistan. We have seen it in Rwanda and DRC. And we will continue to take advantage of every possible opportunity to bring peace in the world.
Claim to stop India-Pakistan conflict
Let us tell you that US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed to end the conflict between India and Pakistan. In total, Trump has repeated this claim about 40 times so far. On every question related to this matter, the US President says that he brought about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
In his statement, Trump has said that on May 10, there was an immediate ceasefire between India and Pakistan due to the mediation of America. Not only this, Trump also gives an important role to trade in this mediation. He has said in his claim that when the tension between India and Pakistan increased, I worked to end it by citing trade.
