India and Pakistan are not scheduled to hold any Director General of Military Operations (DGMO)-level talks today, May 18, the Indian Army confirmed.
However, the ceasefire understanding between the two nations, which was discussed during the DGMO-level interaction on May 12, will continue to remain in effect, it added.

“No DGMO talks are scheduled today. As far as, a continuation of a break in hostilities, as decided in the DGMO interaction of 12 May is concerned, there is no expiry date to it,” the Indian Army officials told CNN-News18.
The India and Pakistan tensions escalated after the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam which claimed the lives of 26 people. In response to the attack, India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’, targeting nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Last DGMO-Level Talks
The two nations last held talks on May 12 to reinforce the ceasefire understanding reached on May 10, following four days of intense cross-border exchanges.
“Talks between DGMOs (of India and Pakistan) were held at 5 pm, May 12, 2025. Issues related to continuing the commitment that both sides must not fire a single shot or initiate any aggressive and inimical action against each other were discussed,” the Indian Army said.
The Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) is a senior army official responsible for overseeing military planning and border operations.
On May 10, India and Pakistan agreed to cease all firing and military activity after the Pakistani DGMO initiated a call to his Indian counterpart, Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai.
However, just hours after both nations agreed to a truce, the Pakistan army violated it along the International Border and the Line of Control (LoC) at multiple locations in Jammu and Kashmir, including Srinagar, as well as parts of Punjab and Rajasthan.
The Indian Armed Forces retaliated effectively and issued a strong warning to Pakistan against any future ceasefire violations.
