US urges India, Pak to work towards 'responsible solution' after Pahalgam attack

The State Department spokesperson also said Washington "stands with India and strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Pahalgam," reiterating comments similar to recent ones made by President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance

US urges India, Pak to work towards 'responsible solution' after Pahalgam attack

The U.S. State Department said on Sunday (April 27, 2025), Washington was in touch with both India and Pakistan while urging them to work towards what it called a “responsible solution” as tensions have risen between the two nations following a recent terrorist attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam.

Following the dastardly attack, India announced a diplomatic offensive against Pakistan, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowing to identify, track, and punish the terrorists and conspirators behind the attack.

Pakistan responded with tit-for-tat moves and called for an independent investigation while its minister openly issued threats to India.

Given the ongoing tensions, the US has urged both countries to "work towards a responsible resolution".

"This is an evolving situation, and we are monitoring developments closely," a State Department spokesperson said in an emailed statement to news agency Reuters.

"The United States encourages all parties to work together towards a responsible resolution.

" The spokesperson reiterated US condemnation of the attack, saying Washington "stands with India," echoing similar remarks from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

Washington views New Delhi as a key partner in its efforts to counter China's growing influence in Asia.

Although Pakistan remains a US ally, its strategic importance has lessened following the 2021 American withdrawal from Afghanistan. Meanwhile, China on Sunday backed Pakistan’s call for an “impartial probe” into India’s allegations.

Beijing’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it supports a neutral investigation, following a call between Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Islamabad proposed that an investigative team could include experts from China, Russia, or Western countries.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also said his government is open to participating in any neutral enquiry into the Pahalgam attack.

The attack, the deadliest in Kashmir since Pulwama in 2019, was claimed by The Resistance Front, a proxy for the banned Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The government released pictures of the three gunmen who opened fire on unarmed tourists in the scenic Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam.

India also launched a series of diplomatic and security measures, including suspending the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, shutting down the Integrated Check Post at Attari to halt overland trade, and suspending the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme for Pakistani nationals, giving those in India 40 hours to leave.

Both countries have also scaled back staff at their respective High Commissions.

Indian officials defended the moves as necessary and proportionate. Pakistan, however, dismissed the accusations as "frivolous" and warned of reprisals if India takes further steps.
