India, Pakistan armies exchange sweets on Eid

Date:

New Delhi, May 13

Less than three months after Indian Army and Pakistan Army agreed to hold the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LOC), the two armies on Thursday exchanged sweets to mark Eid-ul-Fitr.

The decision to agree to the 2003 ceasefire agreement was announced on February 26.

Indian Army and Pakistan Army celebrated Eid-ul-Fitr on the LoC at Poonch-Rawalakot crossing point and Mendhar-Hotspring crossing point in Poonch district of Jammu & Kashmir, a spokesperson of the Northern Command of the Indian Army said.

Sweets and compliments were exchanged by the representatives of both the armies in an atmosphere of bonhomie and festivities.

The ceremony is seen as a confidence building measure in the backdrop of recently agreed ceasefire between both the countries.

The gesture was appreciated by both the armies and expected to promote goodwill and mutual trust, said the spokesperson.
