Prime Minister Narendra Modi has insisted to Donald Trump that the U.S. played no role in the India-Pakistan cease-fire mediation, a top Indian diplomat said Wednesday.
The U.S. president had said that the two nuclear-armed neighbours had agreed to end a four-day conflict on May 10 after "a long night of talks mediated by the United States."
It was their worst standoff since 1999, with more than 70 people killed in missile, drone and artillery fire on both sides.
Officials from Islamabad and New Delhi confirmed the cease-fire on May 10, minutes after Trump posted the announcement on his Truth Social network.
Indian officials said immediately that the cease-fire was worked out bilaterally, not with Washington.
