G7 Urges India and Pakistan to Engage in Dialogue

The G7 nations have called on India and Pakistan to exercise maximum restraint and engage in dialogue following recent escalations in tensions between the two countries. In a statement released early Saturday, the G7 emphasized the importance of both parties refraining from actions that could exacerbate the situation. The group also encouraged direct communication between the neighboring nations to work towards a peaceful resolution. The G7, which consists of the world's seven largest advanced economies—France, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Italy, and Canada—continues to advocate for diplomatic efforts to address conflicts in the region.
