Today in History July 2: From World UFO Day to Signing of Simla Agreement, list of Important events today

On this day in 1972-India and Pakistan sign Simla Agreement peace accord. It came after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, which started when India entered East Pakistan as a partner of Bengali insurgents engaged in the Bangladesh Liberation War against Pakistani state troops.

The treaty's stated goals were to "put an end to the strife and confrontation that have previously disfigured their ties," to think through the steps necessary for further normalising India-Pakistan relations, and to establish the principles to guide their future interactions.
