G7 Urges India and Pakistan to Hold Peace Talks Amid Rising Tensions

The Group of Seven (G7) countries asked India and Pakistan to start direct peace talks. This request comes after recent military attacks, including airstrikes and missile strikes.

A report by Reuters says the G7 issued a joint statement. They urged both countries to lower tensions and talk peacefully. The G7 warned that the situation could hurt regional peace and stability.

US Offers to Help

The United States has also stepped in. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is ready to help both countries start constructive talks. Rubio has recently spoken with top officials in New Delhi and Islamabad.

Rubio said the US is deeply concerned. He stressed that open communication is needed to avoid a wider conflict. However, the US response has not been the same at all levels. President Donald Trump called the situation “shameful.” But Vice President J.D. Vance said the US would not directly get involved. Some experts criticized this as a weak stance.

What Caused the Tensions?

The tensions began after an April 22nd attack. India blamed Pakistan-based militants for it. In reply, India launched air and missile strikes inside Pakistani territory.

Pakistan then answered back with its own large-scale operation called “Operation Bunyān un Marsoos.” This attack happened last night. It targeted key Indian military sites. These include:

• BrahMos missile depot near Beas

• Pathankot Airfield

• Udhampur Air Force Station

Growing Global Concern

Many countries are now worried. If peace talks do not happen soon, the situation might get worse. Experts warn that a full-blown war between two nuclear-armed nations would be dangerous for the entire world.

For now, diplomatic talks are still open, but the risk of more attacks remains high.
