- Mohamed bin Zayed also called premiers Khan and Modi on February 28 to discuss the problem
- Urged both sides to 鈥減rioritize dialogue鈥� to resolve the issue
ISLAMABAD: In a bid to defuse the ongoing crisis between India and Pakistan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan tweeted in both the countries鈥� local languages last week, urging the two to resolve their differences through dialogue.
The crown prince had called Pakistan鈥檚 Prime Minister Imran Khan and his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, on February 28 as part of the UAE鈥檚 efforts to de-escalate the worst standoff in decades between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
In two separate tweets 鈥� one in Hindu and the other in Urdu 鈥� he urged both the countries to address the issues through dialogue.
On Sunday, Pakistan鈥檚 Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said both the crown princes of 抖阴短视频 and the UAE had played a 鈥渃ommendable鈥� role in trying to defuse the crisis which began on February 14 after more than 40 soldiers were killed in a suicide attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.
New Delhi blames Islamabad for the attack but the latter has denied any complicity. India responded by carrying out airstrikes in Pakistan last week and Pakistan quickly retaliated with its own strikes. It also struck down an Indian plane and captured an Indian pilot who was released two days later as part of PM Khan鈥檚 鈥減eace gesture.鈥�
鈥湺兑醵淌悠�, the UAE and other Muslim countries have been a great help,鈥� Chaudhry said in an interview to Arab News.
The two countries have fought three wars, two of them over the disputed Kashmir region which is divided by the Line of Control, the de facto international border that splits the region into two parts.
