The agreement marks a positive step towards reducing tensions in the region, as it is understood that both nations have committed to taking necessary measures to uphold the ceasefire. To ensure continuous communication and monitoring of the situation, the DGMOs are scheduled to hold another round of talks on May 12 at 12:00 hours.
This move is seen as a crucial step toward maintaining peace and stability in the region, reflecting a commitment to diplomatic dialogue and peaceful resolution of any outstanding issues.
The ceasefire is expected to bring much-needed relief to the citizens residing in conflict zones and is hoped to pave the way for further discussions and confidence-building measures between the two countries.
