SINGAPORE: Pakistan and India are nearing reducing the construction of troops along their borders this month before the conflict between nuclear weapons -equipped neighbors spread.

Before the ceasefire was announced, the two sides used fighter jet, missiles, drones and artillery in four days’ clashes.

Sparks for the latest fighting between the old enemies were an attack on Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on April 22, killing 26 people, most of whom were tourists. New Delhi blamed the incident in Islamabad, Pakistan denied the allegation.

Earlier this month, Pakistan’s armed forces launched a massive retaliation, called “Operation Bonyan Um-Marsus”, and targeted several Indian military targets in several regions.

The strikes described by the personnel as “precise and proportional” were carried out in response to India’s continued aggression in the Line of Control (LoC) and Pakistan, which New Delhi claimed that “terror targets” were aimed at.

Pakistan dropped six Indian fighter jets, including three Rafael, and dozens of drones. At least 87 hours later, the war between the two nuclear armed countries ended May 10 with a ceasefire agreement by the United States.

The CJCSC said that both militants have begun to reduce the level of the squad.

General Mirza, who has been the most senior military official in the country since the conflict, said, “We have returned to the situation of about 222th April … we are approaching it, or so far we have approached it.”

The office of the Indian Ministry of Defense and the Indian Chief of Defense Staff did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests to comment on the military general’s remarks.

General Mirza, who is to attend the Shangri La Dialogue Forum in Singapore, said no action was taken towards nuclear weapons during the conflict, but it was a dangerous situation.

“Nothing happened this time,” he said. “But you can’t reject any strategic wrong count at any time, because when the crisis continues, the reaction is different.”

He also said that the risk of increasing the future has increased because this time the fight was not limited to the disputed area, the natural territory of the Himalayas, which the two countries partially rule but make full claims. Both sides attacked military installations in their land, but neither has it acknowledged any serious damage.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had warned Pakistan this month that if new attacks were carried out on India, New Delhi would once again target “terrorist hideouts” across the border.

‘Dangerous Trends’

The two countries fought three major wars on the Kashmir conflict, two of them, and several armed conflicts were born in 1947 from British colonial India.

India accused of insurgency in the IIOJK, which began in 1989, and has killed tens of thousands of people. Islamabad says it provides only moral, political and diplomatic support to Kashmiris to achieve self -determination.

“This [conflict] Reduces the doorstep between the two countries that are nuclear nuclear powers … In the future, it will not be limited to the disputed area. It will come down [the] All over India and [the] The whole of Pakistan, “General Mirza said.” This is a very dangerous trend. “

Reuters reports that diplomacy behind the curtains in the United States, India and Pakistan has eliminated the rise in hostility, and Washington’s key role in brokering peace. India has denied the role of a third party in the ceasefire and said that any engagement between Pakistan and India should be bilateral.

But General Mirza warned that lack of crisis management procedures between countries could make international mediation in the future.

“The window of time to interfere with the international community will be very low, and I would say that there may be damage and destruction from that time, the first window is exploited by the international community,” he said.

He added that Pakistan was open to dialogue, but at the border level, the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) and some hotlines were beyond the hotline of the crisis, there was no other dialogue between the two countries.

The Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman said Thursday that “do not gather talks and terrorism in response to a question about the possibility of dialogue with Pakistan”.

General Mirza also said that there was no back -channel conversation, or informal dialogue to ease the tension. He also said that he had no plans to meet India’s Chief of Defense Staff General Anil Chauhan, who is also in Singapore for the Shangri La Forum.

“These issues can be solved only through dialogue and consultation on the table,” said General Mirza. They cannot be resolved on the battlefield. “
