"A stable and peaceful region, built upon shared interests and aspirations, serves the best interests of all," it adds.
India and Pakistan have engaged in military conflict after the former launched a military strike in Pakistan last night, blaming it for the Jammu and Kashmir terror attack last month that killed over two dozen tourists.
India claimed it targeted "terrorist camps" Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir, but Pakistan denied the allegations, saying, "India's cowardly attack" killed at least 26 civilians.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif described India's missile strikes targeting alleged terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan's Punjab province and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as an "act of war" and said his country has every right to give a "befitting reply."
Pakistani military also claimed that it has downed five Indian fighter jets in retaliation for the strikes.
