- On May 8, 2025, M.V. Ramana, a professor at University of B.C., stated that India-Pakistan tensions reached their highest level since 1999 in disputed Kashmir.

- Western nations view India mainly as a trading partner and avoid dispute involvement while Canada monitors the situation and advised citizens to prepare for possible rapid deterioration.
