On May 17, 2025, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced that Britain and the United States are collaborating to secure a lasting ceasefire between India and Pakistan. This follows recent hostilities, including missile strikes after a deadly Kashmir attack. The ceasefire brokered on May 10 remains fragile. Lammy emphasized honoring treaties and confidence-building measures. He expressed concern over India’s suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, seen as provocative by Pakistan. The UK reaffirmed support for Pakistan’s anti-terrorism efforts and stressed the importance of dialogue to prevent further escalation. (PC: Reuters)
