874 Chapter 6
Meanwhile, Pakistan and India attempted to negotiate a ceasefire but were unsuccess-
ful. Additional clashes took place on May 25 and June 15.
Britain attempted to mediate the dispute. On April 28, the British proposed a cease-
fire, which India and Pakistan rejected. On May 4, the British called for a week-long
ceasefire, ministerial talks to resolve the border dispute, and, if those steps did not
work, arbitration. Once again India and Pakistan rejected the proposal, although they
promised not to aggravate the situation.
Discussions continued through May. Britain drafted an agreement from these talks
and submitted a draft to Pakistan and India on June 27. India and Pakistan approved
the draft two days later, and on June 30, Mr. Azim Hussain, Secretary to the Indian
External Affairs Ministry, and Mr. Arshad Hussain, the Pakistan High Commissioner
in Delhi, agreed to a ceasefire effective July 1, among other conditions.
