The G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, along with the High Representative of the European Union, have issued a statement strongly condemning a recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India. The attack occurred on April 22, and both India and Pakistan have been urged to exercise maximum restraint.
A military escalation between the two countries would pose a significant threat to regional stability, according to the G7 Foreign Ministers. The statement expresses deep concern for the safety of civilians on both sides and calls for an immediate de-escalation of tensions.
The G7 leaders encourage both India and Pakistan to engage in direct dialogue towards a peaceful resolution. They have pledged to closely monitor events and support a swift and lasting diplomatic resolution.
This joint statement reflects the international community's desire to promote peace and stability in the region, particularly in light of ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. As the situation continues to unfold, diplomats and leaders will be watching for progress towards a peaceful outcome.
