According to an official statement by the Indian army, discussions between the military operations chiefs of India and Pakistan, intended to determine the next steps following a recent ceasefire, have been delayed until Monday evening (May 12). The talks were expected to address measures to maintain peace and stability along the border after a period of heightened tensions. The postponement occurs as India has reopened its airports, which had been closed as a precaution during the escalation, and as the country's stock market has responded positively, with shares rising. These developments suggest a de-escalation of the situation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. India and Pakistan have a long history of military and political disputes, particularly over the region of Kashmir, and any dialogue between their military leaders is closely watched by the international community. The delay in talks does not necessarily indicate a breakdown in communication, but rather a rescheduling to allow for further preparations or consultations.
