Britain is working with the U.S. to ensure a ceasefire between India and Pakistan endures and that "confidence-building measures" and dialogue take place, foreign minister David Lammy said on Saturday.

The high-stakes stand-off between India and Pakistan seems to be de-escalating after the United States brokered an immediate ceasefire between the two nuclear powers, but their bad blood has only continued to boil.

As tensions ratcheted up over the last week of fighting, Pakistan did not consider deploying nuclear warheads to strike India, the country’s foreign minister Ishaq Dar told CNN on Monday.
