In the wake of recent escalations, the Indian Army has affirmed discussions with Pakistan regarding a commitment to refrain from aggressive actions. This development follows a period of heightened tensions, including India's "Operation Sindoor" targeting terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in response to a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that resulted in the loss of 26 civilian lives.

The Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan engaged in talks on Monday, May 12, 2025, focusing on upholding peace along the border. According to the Indian Army, the discussions, held between Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai of the Indian Army and Major General Kashif Abdullah of the Pakistan Army, aimed to reinforce the commitment that neither side would initiate any aggressive or hostile actions against the other. A key aspect of the dialogue involved exploring immediate measures for troop reduction along the borders and in forward areas.

These discussions occurred two days after an understanding was reached to halt all military actions. This arrangement followed four days of intense hostilities, which included both sides targeting military installations using drones, missiles, and long-range weaponry, raising concerns about a broader military conflict. The agreement to cease hostilities was reached after a call from the Pakistan DGMO to his Indian counterpart, Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai.

The Indian Army stated that the DGMOs' talks were centered on reaffirming the commitment to avoid firing a single shot. The nearly 45-minute talks, initially scheduled for 12 noon but commenced around 5 pm, took place via hotline. While there were reports of violations of the understanding by the Pakistani military on May 10, the night of May 11 remained largely peaceful across Jammu & Kashmir and other areas along the international border, marking the first calm night in recent days.

India has blamed Pakistan for the Pahalgam attack, a charge that Islamabad denies. Under "Operation Sindoor," the Indian Air Force and Army targeted headquarters of banned groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.

These recent discussions and agreements build upon a previous ceasefire agreement established in 2021 to maintain peace and stability along the Line of Control (LoC). The DGMOs of both India and Pakistan signed that agreement.
