US EditionUK and India discuss 'counter-terrorism' cooperation after Pakistan ceasefire
- British Foreign Minister David Lammy met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday to discuss expanding counter-terrorism cooperation between the UK and India.
- These talks followed a recent ceasefire agreed last month on May 10, ending the worst fighting in nearly 30 years between India and Pakistan after tensions surged in April.
- The conflict intensified after 26 individuals were killed in Kashmir administered by India, an attack that New Delhi blamed on militants supported by Pakistan, an accusation Islamabad rejected, leading India to carry out strikes against alleged terrorist targets in Pakistan.
- Lammy expressed the desire to preserve the current situation while acknowledging its vulnerability, especially given threats posed by terrorism aimed at undermining India, and highlighted the importance of ongoing collaboration on counter-terrorism efforts and trade.
- Negotiations between the UK and India wrapped up last month, paving the way for Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s upcoming trip to India to formalize the free trade agreement, highlighting the strengthening partnership between the two nations.
