India-Pak Backchannel Talks Continue In Colombo And Bangkok Amid Diplomatic Freeze: Reports

Even as official relations between India and Pakistan remain frozen, delegates from both countries have held fresh Track 2 diplomacy talks in Colombo and Bangkok. The discussions focused on crisis-management mechanisms, terrorism, water-related concerns, and ways to prevent future military escalations. The meetings come in the backdrop of strained ties following the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent military confrontation. While formal government dialogue remains suspended, retired diplomats, military officials, academics and policy experts continue to engage through unofficial channels aimed at keeping communication alive and reducing tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
