He added, “The attack carried out by India on the night of May 6 has increased the risk of war in the region. We strongly condemn such provocative actions that target civilians and civilian infrastructure.”

We hope that immediate steps will be taken to reduce tensions in the region, and mechanisms including in the fight against terrorism will be established to prevent such incidents in the future. We fully support Pakistan’s demand for a transparent investigation into the April 22 terrorist attack.”
