Sure, here's a rewritten version of the article, styled to reflect the perspective of a senior world journalist:

The US State Department recently affirmed the strong relations that the United States maintains with both India and Pakistan, emphasizing the importance of these relationships for regional and global stability. During a briefing, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce highlighted how the current administration leverages President Trump’s broad network of global relationships to promote diplomacy and peace.

“Our ties with both nations remain robust,” Bruce noted, underscoring the commitment of US diplomats to nurturing these partnerships. Her comments came in response to questions about potential increased US military assistance to Pakistan following a meeting between Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and President Trump.

Addressing concerns that such assistance might impact US-India relations, Bruce referenced the skirmishes between India and Pakistan in May. She emphasized the swift and coordinated diplomatic response from US leaders, including Vice President J.D. Vance, President Trump, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, which she claims averted further escalation. “We mobilized immediately to address the situation, facilitating communication to prevent catastrophic outcomes,” Bruce stated.

Despite New Delhi's stance that the cessation of hostilities was due to direct military communications between India and Pakistan, Bruce credited US diplomatic efforts with contributing to a peaceful resolution.

Bruce also mentioned other recent diplomatic successes credited to US involvement, including recent agreements like the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal. These build on a framework of negotiated settlements to long-standing disputes involving Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.

In a separate conversation, Rubio praised President Trump’s role in global diplomacy, acknowledging his desire to be known as a "President of peace." Trump and his administration, he said, are quick to engage where they believe they can positively affect outcomes, including in conflicts such as those between India and Pakistan and Thailand and Cambodia.

“Credit goes to President Trump for actively fostering peace across multiple fronts,” Rubio remarked during an interview on the radio show ‘Sid and Friends in the Morning’.
