Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, in a meeting with British High Commissioner Jane Marriott in Islamabad, expressed the country's readiness for "meaningful dialogue" with India to resolve all outstanding issues. The two also discussed regional developments and bilateral relations.
"The Prime Minister expressed his appreciation for the UK’s role in de-escalation of tensions during the Pakistan-India standoff and reiterated that Pakistan was ready for a meaningful dialogue with India on all outstanding issues," as per the official statement released as reported by news agency PTI.
This follows Operation Sindoor, launched by India on May 7 in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, targeting terrorist and military infrastructure within Pakistani territory.
India, however, maintains a firm stance: any future talks must focus on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and the cessation of cross-border terrorism. Indian officials continue to caution against being drawn into what they describe as rhetoric-driven diplomacy from Pakistan, which they believe often lacks genuine intent and follow-through.
