US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau wrote on his microblog X, noting that he had the honor of witnessing US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent phone conversations with the leaders of India and Pakistan to prevent a dangerous escalation of the situation.
"I’ve been privileged to witness Secretary Rubio in recent days tirelessly working the phones with the leaders of both India and Pakistan to prevent a dangerous escalation of the situation.
US President Donald Trump and VIce President JD Vance have made it clear to all of us who work in their Administration that our goal is to promote and pursue PEACE - whether between India and Pakistan, Russia and Ukraine, Israel and its neighbors, DR of Congo and Rwanda, Azerbaijan and Armenia, or others. As diplomats - and, frankly, as human beings - our calling is to prevent or stop WAR.
Proud that our team was able to deliver on that promise today, and kudos to the leadership of both India and Pakistan for choosing prudence and restraint," Christopher Landau stated on X.
India and Pakistan, mediated by Washington, have agreed on an immediate and complete ceasefire.
