联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯周二访问了设在伊斯兰堡的联合国印度和巴基斯坦军事观察员小组（UNMOGIP）总部。
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres paid a visit Tuesday to the Islamabad headquarters of the UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP).
他在视察时说道：“多年来，你们经历了极其艰难的考验，但这些挑战恰恰凸显了你们所发挥的重要作用。”他还指出，该观察团在极为敏感的政治环境中执行任务，肩负着艰巨的使命。
"You have been through extremely testing times through the years – but those challenges highlight the vital role that you play," he told the mission, saying it operates in an extremely sensitive political environment and is entrusted with a difficult mandate.
古特雷斯表示，去年5月，该观察团以高度的责任心和专业素养出色完成了各项任务。去年5月，印巴两国爆发跨境冲突，最终由美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布双方实现停火。
Guterres said the mission's commitment to fulfilling its mandate with dedication and professionalism was on full display in May last year. India and Pakistan engaged in a cross-border conflict last May, which ended with a ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump.
古特雷斯称赞道：“日复一日，你们通过坚守在控制线两侧，发挥了至关重要且不可或缺的作用。”他同时感谢观察团为维护地区稳定所作出的贡献，并指出这种稳定局面“实属来之不易”。该观察团成立于1949年，主要负责监督印巴两国在存在争议的克什米尔地区的停火情况。
"Day in and day out, you play a critical – indeed an essential -- role with your visible presence on both sides of the Line of Control," he said, thanking the mission for contributing to stability in the region, which he said was "not easy to maintain." The mission was established in 1949 to monitor the ceasefire between India and Pakistan in the disputed Kashmir region.
