Pakistan, India DGMOs to hold hotline contact today evening

The Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of Pakistan and India are due to hold a conversation via hotline today (Monday) to review the May 10 ceasefire agreement, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Initially the hotline conversation had been due to take place at 12:00 pm today but Indian officials said it had been delayed to the evening.

According to official sources, the two sides are likely to reaffirm their commitment to cease all firing and military actions by land, air, and sea, following four days of intense drone and missile strikes against each other.

The contact between the two military officials came on the heels of the agreement reached during a call on Saturday afternoon, in which both sides agreed to observe a complete ceasefire.

Making the announcement on Saturday evening, Indian Foreign Secretary Misri said the director generals of military operations of India and Pakistan agreed on the understanding during a call on Saturday afternoon, and the next talks are scheduled at 12 noon on May 12.

Notably, the ceasefire announcement came just hours after US President Donald Trump made a surprise statement on social media X, claiming that the United States had played a mediating role in bringing India and Pakistan to the negotiating table.

Abdul Basit at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore said it would be about modalities of the ceasefire and not policy decisions.

The aim is to "avoid any miscalculations, because right now one spark could quickly move towards a nuclear catastrophe," Basit told AFP.
