Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has said that contact has been made between the national security advisers (NSA) of Pakistan and India amid a recent escalation after the latter launched overnight strikes, prompting retaliation.
Speaking to TRT World in an interview, Dar was questioned about whether the NSAs had spoken after the overnight action, to which he said: “Yes there has been contact between the two.”
Pakistan had recently named Inter Services Intelligence Director General Lt Gen Muhammad Asim Malik as the NSA, while his counterpart from India is Ajit Doval.
