‘Brothers forever': Pakistani military acknowledges Saudi role in truce with India
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's military spokesman, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, has acknowledged Saudi Arabia's role in helping secure a ceasefire with India, after the nuclear-armed neighbors exchanged heavy cross-border fire this month. India on May 7 launched a series of strikes across the Line of Control — the de facto border that separates the Indian-controlled and Pakistani-controlled parts of Kashmir. It also hit other sites on the Pakistani mainland, targeting what it claimed were militant positions. Pakistan retaliated with strikes on Indian military targets before the ceasefire took effect on May 10, following efforts by world powers and friendly nations, including Saudi Arabia, to quickly de-escalate the conflict. The Kingdom's role in mediation was 'very positive and wonderful,' Lt. Gen. Chaudhry told Arab News. Pakistan and India have fought multiple wars since their independence from British rule in 1947. Two of the wars were over the disputed region of Kashmir, which both claim in full but rule in part. The recent escalation came days after New Delhi blamed Pakistan for a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir — Islamabad denied any involvement. As the neighbors exchanged fire, Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir visited both New Delhi and Islamabad. The May 10 truce was reached shortly afterward. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan share close diplomatic and strategic relations, and the Kingdom has provided significant support to Pakistan during its prolonged economic challenges in recent years. 'The bond between the people of Pakistan and the people of Saudi Arabia is very strong, and we in the armed forces have a very close bond with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. And this is a relationship that is based on respect,' Lt. Gen. Chaudhry said. 'Saudis are our brothers, brothers forever.'
