Only a lasting ceasefire between Pakistan and India represents true victory, said former Foreign Minister of Pakistan Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday. On May 7, India launched airstrikes on Pakistani targets to avenge last month's killing of 26 people by gunmen in Pahalgam town, about 89 km east of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir. Both Pakistan and India claimed victory amid the conflict. In an interview with China Central Television (CCTV) at the United Nations headquarters, Zardari, also the chairman of Pakistan People's Party, said that there is no "real victory" until the final ceasefire. Pakistan and India announced on May 10 that they had agreed on an immediate ceasefire, but Zardari admitted that it is a fragile ceasefire. Zardari stated that both parties are most likely to resolve their disputes through dialogue. Shotlist: UN Headquarters, New York City - June 2, 2025: FILE: Pakistan - Date Unknown 1.

SOUNDBITE (English) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, chairman, Pakistan People's Party; former Foreign Minister of Pakistan (ending with shot 4): "I think the very easy answer to who won this war is who's lying to their people? Whose media was lying to their people? Whose government was lying to their people during the conflict and after the conflict? It took one month for the Indian government to admit that we downed their planes. Why were they hiding this fact from their people? Because the truth is they lost. As our initial self-defense for their unilateral violation of our sovereignty, we downed six Indian jets and they refused to admit it up until literally yesterday. We've achieved a ceasefire. That's important. I think that's the true victory."; Pakistan - May 7, 2025 4. Various of Indian airstrikes targeting Pakistani infrastructure; UN Headquarters, New York City - June 2, 2025 5. SOUNDBITE (English) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, chairman, Pakistan People's Party; former Foreign Minister of Pakistan (starting with shot 4/partially overlaid with shot 6): "This is, I think, a fragile ceasefire. In order for this to be a lasting ceasefire, we appeal to the international community to play its role because Pakistan has said that they're willing to talk. There's only one country that says they're not willing to talk and that's India. So obviously that's not a sustainable situation. And therefore, it is our effort to engage the international community for them to play their role to establish peace, which must include resolving the issue of Kashmir, resolving India's water dispute that India has now started illegally and having a proper conversation about terrorism."; [SHOT OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE] FILE: New Delhi, India - Date Unknown 6.

SOUNDBITE (English) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, chairman, Pakistan People's Party; former Foreign Minister of Pakistan (partially overlaid with shots 9-10): "I think the most important and the most sort of possible achievement would be for us to start a dialogue. Dialogue and diplomacy has to be the start for us to address any and all issues. So Pakistan is willing to talk with India. We want peace, but peace is not possible, as you say, until we engage in a dialogue. Of course, I believe as we relied or there was the international community's involvement in achieving our ceasefire. Therefore, it's reasonable to believe that if the international community plays its role in a similar way, perhaps, we will able to establish perpetual peace, at least in South Asia."; [SHOTS OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE] FILE: Islamabad, Pakistan - May 5, 2023 9.
