Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, the G7 nations have jointly appealed to both countries to remain calm and prioritize diplomatic engagement over further conflict. In a collective statement, the foreign ministers of the G7 countries—which include Canada, Germany, Italy, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States—along with the European Union, strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam and urged both nations to exercise maximum restraint.
The statement expressed deep concern about the potential consequences of continued military aggression, warning that such actions could destabilize the entire South Asian region. The G7 emphasized the importance of protecting civilians and called for an immediate de-escalation and withdrawal of military forces. “We urge both countries to return to the negotiating table and resolve their differences through peaceful dialogue,” the group added, reaffirming their commitment to support all diplomatic initiatives that promote peace and stability.
Meanwhile, Indian authorities have reported that Pakistan has continued targeting civilian areas, with drone activity detected in 26 locations across the country. Despite these provocations, the Indian government has reassured the public that the situation is being closely monitored and that there is no immediate cause for alarm. The Centre affirmed its readiness to manage the evolving scenario with vigilance and caution.
