Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Friday that Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Climate Envoy, Adel Al-Jubeir, visited India and Pakistan as part of the Kingdom’s efforts to de-escalate tensions and bring an end to ongoing hostilities.
According to an official statement, Al-Jubeir's visit took place on Thursday and Friday and aimed “to promote de-escalation, halt military confrontations, and work towards resolving all disputes through dialogue and diplomatic channels.”
The move comes amid growing conflict between India and Pakistan, who exchanged accusations on Friday over new military attacks using drones and artillery.
The confrontations mark the third consecutive day of violence and represent the most intense clashes between the two nuclear-armed neighbors in nearly three decades.
Late last April, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs had expressed concern over the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan and the continued exchange of fire in border regions.
