India Pakistan ceasefire: Both country agree to a full and immediate ceasefire
In a dramatic turn of events following weeks of escalating hostilities, India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire, as announced by former U.S. President Donald Trump via Truth Social on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
“After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE,” Trump posted.
“Congratulations to both countries for using Common Sense and Great Intelligence.”
The announcement comes just days after heightened military operations, including India’s Operation Sindoor, which struck nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK in retaliation for a deadly terrorist attack in Jammu & Kashmir’s Pahalgam, where 26 Indian civilians lost their lives.

📞 DGMOs Confirm Ceasefire Activation From 5 PM
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed that the ceasefire would take effect from 5 PM on May 10, 2025, following a call between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations.
“DGMO of Pakistan called up DGMO of India at 3.35 PM. They agreed to cease all military action from land, air, and sea from 5 PM onwards,” Misri said.
The two officials are also scheduled to reconvene via call at 12 PM on May 12 for further coordination, signaling a commitment to de-escalation.
India Reaffirms Stand on Terrorism
External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar posted on X (formerly Twitter) confirming the ceasefire agreement while reaffirming India’s firm policy against terrorism:
“India and Pakistan have today worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action.”
“India has consistently maintained a firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will continue to do so.”
This statement clarifies that while India is open to peace, it will remain vigilant against future threats and maintain pressure on anti-India terror elements operating from across the border.

🏴 Operation Sindoor: The Precursor to Peace?
The ceasefire agreement follows intense hostilities over the last two weeks, particularly after India launched Operation Sindoor, destroying nine terrorist launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Government sources confirmed over 100 terrorists were neutralized in the offensive.
Key targets included:
- Lashkar-e-Taiba’s headquarters in Muridke
- Jaish-e-Mohammed’s base in Bahawalpur
- Other terror hubs near the LoC used for infiltration and arms smuggling
The operation was a major show of strength, but India maintained precision and avoided civilian damage.
Pakistan Responds to the India Pakistan Ceasefire
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar also confirmed the ceasefire:
“Pakistan and India have agreed to a ceasefire with immediate effect. Pakistan has always strived for peace and security in the region, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Dar tweeted.
Pakistan’s statement hints at a desire to de-escalate, but also reaffirms its official stance on defending its territory — possibly signaling fragile peace ahead.
U.S. Role in India Pakistan Ceasefire Agreement
The ceasefire agreement was significantly influenced by U.S. diplomatic efforts, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio stated that he and Vice President JD Vance engaged with senior officials from both countries over the past 48 hours.
“We commend Prime Ministers Modi and Sharif on their wisdom, prudence, and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace,” said Rubio.
He also revealed talks involved top national security officials including:
- NSA Ajit Doval (India) and NSA Asim Malik (Pakistan)
- Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir (Pakistan)
- Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif
Interestingly, JD Vance, who had previously remarked that the India-Pakistan conflict was “none of America’s business,” appears to have reversed course to help broker the ceasefire.
🧭 What’s Next for the India Pakistan Ceasefire?
While the ceasefire brings welcome relief to millions of civilians along the India-Pakistan border, both countries remain cautious.
Key questions going forward:
- Will Pakistan curb terror groups operating from its soil?
- Can India trust a long-term de-escalation after decades of hostility?
- Will a neutral location for future peace talks be announced?
According to diplomatic insiders, Switzerland or the UAE may be considered as neutral venues for dialogue, though no official decision has been made.
📌 Conclusion: India Pakistan Ceasefire Offers Fragile Hope
The India-Pakistan ceasefire of May 2025 marks a critical turning point after weeks of military confrontation. Mediated by the United States and confirmed at the highest levels of both governments, the agreement offers hope for peace — albeit fragile and conditional.
India has made it clear that its fight against terrorism will continue unabated, and Pakistan must now prove its commitment to long-term stability through action, not just diplomacy.
