In a significant development, the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan held crucial talks on May 12, 2025, agreeing to consider immediate measures for troop reduction along the borders and forward areas.
Key Outcomes of the DGMO Talks
The discussions, which took place at 5:00 PM IST, focused on maintaining the ceasefire agreement and ensuring that both nations refrain from aggressive military actions. The Indian Army confirmed that both sides agreed to uphold their commitment to not fire a single shot or initiate hostile activities against each other.
Background: Recent Escalations and Ceasefire Agreement
The talks come in the wake of Operation Sindoor, India’s military offensive targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7. The operation was a direct response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives.
Following intense cross-border hostilities, a full ceasefire was announced on May 10, mediated by US President Donald Trump. However, reports indicate that Pakistan violated the ceasefire within hours, deploying drones over Jammu, Srinagar, Punjab, and Rajasthan.
Next Steps: De-escalation Efforts
Despite the ceasefire violations, the latest DGMO talks signal a diplomatic push toward de-escalation. Both nations have agreed to review troop deployments and explore further measures to reduce military presence in sensitive border regions.
As tensions ease, the focus will now shift to long-term stability and ensuring that the ceasefire holds. The next round of discussions between India and Pakistan’s military leadership is expected to take place in the coming days.
