PEACE BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN

That this House recognises that the ongoing escalation of military conflict between India and Pakistan is not in the interests of either country; notes that both countries possess nuclear capabilities and that a continuation of this conflict could destabilise the entire region and lead to a catastrophic loss of life; acknowledges that the returning of a captured Indian pilot is a positive goodwill gesture towards peace by Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan; and calls on the international community to step up its efforts to defuse the current situation and mediate between both countries to maintain peace in the region.
