Overview

• Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told the General Assembly that Pakistan downed seven Indian aircraft during May’s fighting and credited President Trump with brokering the ceasefire, even proposing a Nobel nomination.
• Indian diplomat Petal Gahlot dismissed the remarks as glorifying terrorism, citing Pakistan’s sheltering of Osama bin Laden and its move at the UN Security Council to shield The Resistance Front after the Pahalgam massacre.
• India asserted that hostilities ended through direct DGMO-to-DGMO contacts on May 10 and said Pakistan’s military “pleaded” for a halt after Indian strikes damaged multiple Pakistani airbases.
• New Delhi reiterated that all outstanding issues with Islamabad are to be addressed bilaterally, rejecting any third‑party mediation claims.
• Sharif also condemned India’s abeyance of the Indus Waters Treaty as an “act of war,” while India maintained Operation Sindoor targeted militant infrastructure after the April 22 Pahalgam attack and that battlefield tallies remain contested.
