We hope that India and Pakistan will prevent the escalation of tension in the region,

Our region needs peace, especially to expand economic cooperation between regional countries, and we hope this will happen,

the foreign minister added

No war. It’s not a solution as it just creates fear and lead to destruction. Dialogue is the only way forward. The international community should step in to de-escalate tensions,

Raja Amjad Kabbir, a businessman based in Sharjah, said ... he urged

Things are okay in our village as of now. But schools and colleges are closed. Being in the border area gives us more tension. I just hope the fighting between the two countries will end today itself,

said Singh

Both are nuclear states, they should talk to each other,

said Sardar Shabbir Khan, a Dubai-based Pakistani-American businessman

A small mistake can destroy everything. Both countries should initiate dialogue to sort out issues as war is not a solution to anything,

Khan added

No matter what happens along the borders, people here want peace. Just this morning, I saw a Pakistani patient who shared his deep concern. We spoke about how peacefully we live together here. In a country like the UAE, which hosts people from nearly 200 nationalities, we are living proof that harmony is possible,
