Eibar Donald Trump`s offer to help India and Pakistan resolve the Kashmir issue has sparked widespread controversy after India refuted the US president`s claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked a question about it. While the US administration is trying to downplay Trump`s remarks by calling the Kashmir issue “bilateral” for “India and Pakistan,” the focus has returned to previous “bilateral agreements,” including the 1972 De Simla Agreement (or Shimla), signed by then-Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan, Indira Gandhi and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. for friendly relations between the two countries. On July 2, 1972, the two countries reached an agreement. The main clauses of the Simla Agreement are as follows: this agreement, commonly known as the Simla Pact, was born from the 1971 war between the two countries over the evolution of the situation in the eastern wing of Pakistan. The agreement aimed to define the principles that should govern their future relationship. It has also taken steps to further normalize bilateral relations. Most importantly, he forced the two countries to “settle their differences by peaceful means through bilateral negotiations.” The agreement emphasizes respect for each other`s sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence and unity. It also mentions non-interference in the internal affairs of the other and the flaw in hostile propaganda. The agreement did not prevent relations between the two countries from deteriorating into armed conflict, most recently during the 1999 Kargil war. In Operation Meghdoot in 1984, India seized the entire inhospitable Siachen Glacier region, where the border was not clearly defined in the agreement (perhaps because the area was deemed too arid to be controversial); This was considered by Pakistan as a violation of the Simla agreement. Most of the deaths that followed in the Siachen conflict were due to natural disasters, such as avalanches in 2010, 2012 and 2016.

The agreement was reached by mutual agreement and signed after the 1971 Indo pak War, after which East Pakistan was liberated, which led to the formation of Bangladesh. . . .
