Saying that the country remains committed to the “ceasefire understanding”, the FO said that Pakistan was taking necessary steps towards de-escalation and regional stability.
The FO said, “This ceasefire was achieved as a result of the facilitation of several friendly countries which contacted us with a message of de-escalation.”
Earlier, the Foreign Office reiterated Pakistan’s support for US President Donald Trump’s efforts aimed at the resolution of the dispute in Kashmir between the neighbours.
“Pakistan has always supported the peaceful resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people,” it said.

The Foreign Office (FO) also called on the international community to closely monitor India’s actions in the coming days after the recent ceasefire.
The FO noted that India’s actions set a dangerous precedent for aggression, “dragging the entire region to the brink of disaster”.
They reflected the mindset of a revisionist actor that seeks to upend strategic stability in South Asia without regard for consequences, it said.
“Moreover, India is justifying the cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians, mostly women and children, as well as its highly irresponsible brinkmanship as the ‘new normal’ for the region.
“Pakistan totally rejects this assertion. The ‘normal’ remains that no one will be allowed to challenge the principles and purposes of the UN Charter, as amply demonstrated by Pakistan in resolutely defending its sovereignty, territorial integrity, as well as the security of its people.
“Make no mistake, we will closely monitor India’s actions and behaviour in this regard in the coming days. We also urge the international community to do the same,” it said.
In a separate statement, the Foreign Office said the world is not served by India’s “theatrical militarism and grandstanding but by mature leadership, regional cooperation, and respect for international norms”.
“In this era, peace is the true strength,” the FO said.
It said that Pakistan’s commitment to peace “must never be mistaken for weakness”, warning that any future aggression from India will be met with “full resolve”.
The FO asserts that “peace is the true strength” and Pakistan has always supported the “peaceful resolution” of the Kashmir dispute, according to the UN Security Council resolutions.
