Pakistan Appeals for International Intervention to Curb Indian Escalation

Pakistan has called on global powers to intervene and help resolve key issues with India amid ongoing tensions between the two neighbours. 

This appeal came from a senior Pakistani delegation that arrived in London on Sunday to present Islamabad’s position.

Earlier this month, Pakistan launched an extensive lobbying campaign in the United States to share its perspective on the recent conflict with India and counter increasing influence from pro-New Delhi lobbying groups. As part of its global diplomatic effort, the delegation will also visit Brussels, according to Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper.

The high-profile delegation includes former Foreign Ministers Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Hina Rabbani Khar, Khurram Dastgir, alongside Senators Sherry Rehman, Musadik Malik, Faisal Subzwari, and Bushra Anjum Butt. Senior envoys Jaleel Abbas Gilani and Tahmina Janjua are also part of the group.

Khurram Dastgir told Pakistan’s Geo News after arriving in the UK that the delegation faced resistance due to a belief among some Americans that further intervention was unnecessary following former US President Donald Trump’s mediation of a ceasefire.

He stressed the mission’s goal was to make it clear that ongoing international involvement remains crucial.
