Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has confirmed that the national security advisers (NSAs) of Pakistan and India have made contact following recent military exchanges. In an interview with TRT World, Dar acknowledged the communication, marking the first known high-level interaction since the latest cross-border strikes. Pakistan’s NSA, ISI Chief Lt. Gen. Muhammad Asim Malik, and India’s NSA, Ajit Doval, reportedly engaged in talks aimed at easing tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations. While details of the discussion remain undisclosed, diplomatic sources view this move as a potential step toward de-escalation.
