WASHINGTON, 26 February, 2021 (TON): On Thursday, Jen Psaki U.S. President Joe Biden’s spokesperson said the U.S. has welcomed the agreement between India and Pakistan reaffirming their commitment to a ceasefire along the Line of Control the very day.
During her daily briefing in Washington, she said, "This is a positive step towards greater peace and stability in South Asia, which is in our shared interest and we encourage both the countries to keep building upon this progress."
She said, "The US welcomes the joint statement between India and Pakistan that the two countries have agreed to maintain strict observance of ceasefire along the Line of Control starting February 25."
On asking whether Pakistan was doing enough to combat terrorism, Psaki did not give a direct reply rather directed it to the intelligence department.
