US monitors India–Pakistan situation daily, says Secretary of State Rubio

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Sunday that the United States keeps “an eye on what’s happening between Pakistan and India every single day.”

The comment came amid discussions about the complexities of maintaining ceasefires in conflict zones, where he highlighted regional fragility by linking the monitoring of India–Pakistan tensions to similar oversight in areas like Cambodia and Thailand.

During an interview with NBC News’ Meet The Press, Rubio remarked that ceasefires typically “fall apart very quickly,” especially following protracted conflicts such as the Ukraine war.

He clarified that the US is not seeking a permanent ceasefire but rather a durable peace deal that prevents both current and future hostilities.

In another conversation with Fox Business, Rubio reiterated the administration’s commitment to peace. He cited efforts to manage tensions not only in South Asia but across global hotspots referencing Cambodia, Thailand, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo as part of the US mission to promote global stability.

Rubio’s remarks come amid heightened diplomatic activity following the 2025 India–Pakistan conflict, triggered by the Operation Sindoor exchange of airstrikes.

A US-brokered ceasefire was brokered in May through extensive dialogue led by Rubio and Vice President JD Vance.
