UN Security Council calls on Pakistan and India to avoid military conflict

The UN Security Council has called on Pakistan and India to avoid military conflict in favor of negotiations.

This was reported by foreign media outlets, citing a source in the Pakistani Foreign Ministry.

According to the source, the UN Security Council called for the adoption of the path of dialogue and diplomacy to defuse tensions and avoid a military clash, to resolve the issue peacefully.

A closed-door meeting was held at the UN headquarters in New York on Monday against the backdrop of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stressed the need to avoid a military clash between the parties, which, according to him, could easily get out of control.

Pakistan is currently a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, while India is not a member, but is holding talks with other members.
