After four days of intense cross-border strikes and counterstrikes, India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire—bringing a much-needed sigh of relief across the globe. The announcement, confirmed by leaders from both nations, has drawn swift and supportive reactions from world leaders, who praised the move as a step toward de-escalation and dialogue.

US President Donald Trump led the statements, saying:

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed the sentiment:

Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus praised the leadership on both sides:
“I most sincerely commend Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan for agreeing to a ceasefire. Bangladesh will continue to support our neighbours in resolving differences through diplomacy.”

European Union Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas highlighted the importance of sustaining the peace:
“The announced ceasefire is a vital step toward de-escalation. All efforts must be made to ensure it is respected. The EU remains committed to peace, stability, and counter-terrorism in the region.”

British Foreign Minister David Lammy added:
“Today’s ceasefire is hugely welcome. I urge both parties to sustain this. De-escalation is in everybody’s interest.”

And in a message of peace and reflection, Prince Rahim Al-Hussaini, spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslims, said:
“I am pleased to see a ceasefire agreed upon. I pray both countries will resolve issues dating back to 1947 through dialogue and peaceful means.”

As the world watches closely, hopes are high that the ceasefire marks a turning point toward lasting peace in South Asia.
