In his weekly media briefing in Islamabad on Thursday, the Foreign Office Spokesman Qazi Khalilullah said that Pakistan is committed to the decisions announced at the recent Ufa meeting between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his Indian Counterpart Narendra Modi.

His remarks came in response to a question about whether the recent ceasefire violations by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) have any adverse impact on the upcoming meetings between Pakistani and Indian officials.

On July 10, the prime ministers of Pakistan and India met in the Russian City of Ufa on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and expressed readiness to discuss all outstanding issues to promote peace and development in the region.

It was decided in the meeting that senior military officials of the two countries will hold meetings to lower tensions along the LoC, a de facto border that divides Jammu and Kashmir.

The spokesman pointed out that ceasefire violation took place in the past also but despite that both sides met from time to time.

“Peace and tranquility on line and control and working boundary is in interest of both Pakistan and India,” he said.
