Diplomacy not dead as as neither side wants to go back to war: Pakistan ex-UN ambassador

Pakistan’s last-minute intervention was decisive in securing the ceasefire extension, according to Maleeha Lodhi, former Pakistani ambassador to the US.

“Pakistan’s top military and civilian leadership conveyed to Washington the need to extend the ceasefire so that a window could be found and space created for diplomacy to be pursued,” she told Al Jazeera.

On the current impasse, Lodhi said, “Both sides want an off-ramp.”

“Neither would want to go back to war. But at the same time, neither side wants to give the other any kind of a win before the talks even get going.

“President Trump seems to say different things at different times, and sometimes in the same breath. That does not build trust, and it does not build the positive atmosphere you need for talks.

“Hopes are not exactly fading, diplomacy is not dead. It is just getting harder to get it going.”
