British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar met Friday to address the recent flare-up between Islamabad and New Delhi.
Dar emphasized Pakistan’s “right to self-defense,” describing its response as “limited, precise, and proportionate,” according to a Pakistani Foreign Ministry statement.
The talks focused on the recent military escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, which eased after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire last weekend.
Dar thanked the UK for its “constructive and productive” role in helping reduce tensions.
Both sides stressed the need for restraint and ongoing dialogue to avoid further conflict and maintain peace in the region.
Lammy welcomed the ceasefire, calling both India and Pakistan “great friends” of the UK. He expressed Britain’s commitment to counterterrorism efforts and to help turn the fragile ceasefire into lasting peace.
During his two-day visit to Pakistan, Lammy is set to meet other officials, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
On Thursday, the militaries of both countries agreed to continue confidence-building measures to lower alert levels.
