US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says India and Pakistan showed “prudence” in agreeing to a ceasefire after a spate of deadly attacks against each other that brought them close to a broader conflict, APA reports citing CNN.
“I am pleased to announce the Governments of India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire and to start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site,” Rubio wrote Saturday on X, minutes after President Donald Trump first announced the ceasefire with a post on Truth Social.
Rubio praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Shehbaz Sharif for “their wisdom, prudence, and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace.”
Earlier Saturday, Rubio spoke with the foreign ministers of both countries, the State Department said.
Pakistan has confirmed the truce but there has been no comment yet from India.
