In contradiction to Foreign Secretary Shri Vikram Misri that the DGMOs of Pakistan and India would “talk again on 12th of May at 1200 hours (11:30am PKT)”, the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting reported that “there is no decision to hold talks on any other issue at any other place”.

Quoting its ministry of external affairs, the Indian information ministry tweeted that the “stoppage of firing & military action between India and Pakistan was worked out directly between the two countries.”

“The Pak DGMO initiated the call this afternoon after which discussions took place and understanding reached, “ it added.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had also announced that the two parties would “start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site”.
