The Arab Republic of Egypt welcomes the announcement made on Saturday, May 10, 2025, regarding the ceasefire and de-escalation between India and Pakistan, following mediation efforts by the United States.
Egypt affirms that this positive development marks an important step toward achieving the necessary calm between the two countries and supports security and stability in the South Asia region. Egypt looks forward to both parties adhering to the ceasefire agreement in the coming period, which could help build mutual trust and fulfill the aspirations of the Indian and Pakistani peoples for peace, prosperity, and development.
Egypt reiterates its firm belief in the paramount importance of peaceful solutions to international crises, emphasizing that dialogue and negotiation are the only means to resolve disputes. It hopes the ceasefire agreement will contribute to international peace and security, including in the Middle East, where Egypt counts on the American role in expediting a ceasefire agreement in Gaza and ending the suffering of the Palestinian people.
