The military operations chiefs of India and Pakistan held talks by phone on Monday evening, two days after the nuclear-armed neighbours reached a ceasefire agreement following intense fighting last week.
The Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries held the first round of talks on hotline following the ceasefire, Geo News reported.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in separate calls late on Sunday.
UK's Lammy and Rubio also discussed the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, and called for both countries to maintain the ceasefire and to continue to communicate.
Rubio said the US supported direct dialogue between India and Pakistan and encouraged continued efforts to improve communications.
