Peace Prevails: Nepal PM K P Sharma Oli Commends India-Pakistan Ceasefire on Buddha Jayanti

Nepal's Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli commended India and Pakistan for halting military confrontations, emphasizing the pertinence of Lord Buddha's message of peace amid ongoing global conflicts. Speaking in Lumbini during the 2569th Buddha Jayanti, Oli reflected on the teachings of the peace icon.

The truce between India and Pakistan came after a significant escalation in tensions due to India's Operation Sindoor, launched in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack. The ceasefire decision encompasses ending all military actions immediately.

Oli, who engaged in talks with both nations, underscored his consistent stance against escalating tensions. Commemorative events unfolded in Kathmandu with prayers and songs dedicated to Lord Buddha, reaffirming his enduring influence on global peace efforts.
