The anticipated communication between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of Pakistan and India has been postponed, according to a report released Monday.
Originally scheduled for earlier in the day, the DGMO-level contact may now occur later in the evening. Authorities have not disclosed any official reason for the delay.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly chaired a high-level meeting prior to the expected talks, which were part of a ceasefire mechanism between the two countries. The Pakistan Army’s DGMO was set to hold discussions with Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, his Indian counterpart, following recent declarations by U.S. President Donald Trump about reduced tensions along the border.
This delay comes shortly after Pakistan’s military spokesperson, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Ahmed Sharif, reiterated Islamabad’s openness to maintaining military-to-military communication channels with India. He emphasized that such interactions — including DGMO-level exchanges — are standard procedures aimed at ensuring calm along the Line of Control (LoC) and preventing unnecessary escalation.
As of Monday afternoon, the fragile ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed neighbors was holding, with hotline communication between their militaries reactivated to manage any emerging incidents.
During a recent briefing, Major General Ahmed Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to restraint and dialogue, noting that consistent military dialogue helps reduce tensions and promote stability in the region.
The global community remains attentive to the evolving situation, wary of the potential for renewed hostilities in the absence of sustained diplomatic engagement.
