NEW YORK/WASHINGTON:  US Vice President JD Vance on Saturday expressed gratitude to leaders of India and Pakistan for their “hard work and willingness to engage in this ceasefire.”

The US-brokered ceasefire came hours after India and Pakistan attacked each other’s military facilities, dangerously escalating the ongoing conflict.

“Great work from the President’s team, especially Secretary Rubio. And my gratitude to the leaders of India and Pakistan for their hard work and willingness to engage in this ceasefire,” Vance said in a post on X.
