Islamabad, May 10: Pakistan and India have agreed to a ceasefire with immediate effect, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Saturday. Dar, who is also the Deputy Prime Minister, made the announcement on X within minutes of US President Donald Trump posting a message on Truth Social.

“Pakistan and India have agreed to a ceasefire with immediate effect. Pakistan has always strived for peace and security in the region, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity!” Dar said on X. The US-brokered ceasefire came hours after India and Pakistan attacked each other's military facilities, dangerously escalating the ongoing conflict. Donald Trump Claims India, Pakistan Agreed to US-Brokered Ceasefire; No Confirmation From Either Country Yet.
