ISLAMABAD/KARACHI: Pakistan’s minister for information Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday said the crown princes of Saudi Arabia and the UAE had both played a “commendable” role in helping to defuse tensions between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan last week in what is being called their worst standoff in decades.

Last week, escalation of hostilities between the arch-rivals, including aerial dogfights and heavy shelling along the border, nearly brought them to the brink of war.
