ISLAMABAD, May 20 (Alliance News): In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Pakistan and India have agreed to withdraw all military forces to their original peacetime positions by May 30, significantly easing ongoing border tensions.
According to reliable sources, the phased withdrawal will begin with the Air Force and Aviation units, followed by the complete return of Army and other ground forces to their normal stations. The decision marks a key step towards de-escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
In addition to troop withdrawals, sources confirmed that discussions are ongoing regarding the return of certain posts occupied by Pakistan in Kashmir. These positions are expected to be handed back based on a mutually agreed written framework after the completion of the troop pullback.
There are also indications that direct talks between Pakistan and India could take place soon at a neutral venue, raising hopes for a broader peace dialogue and long-term regional stability.
The development has been welcomed by international observers and is seen as a positive signal toward easing hostilities in the South Asian region, which has witnessed heightened tensions following recent border incidents.
