Correct Answer:
A. Washington Agreement
The Kargil War, a conflict between India and Pakistan in 1999, concluded with the Washington Agreement. This agreement was reached between then-US President Bill Clinton and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on July 4, 1999. It stipulated Pakistan's withdrawal of forces from the Indian-controlled Kargil region, effectively ending the conflict.
- A. Washington Agreement: This is correct. It was a crucial diplomatic intervention that led to Pakistan's withdrawal and the cessation of hostilities.
- B. Tashkent Agreement: This agreement was signed in 1966 between India and Pakistan to resolve the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, not the Kargil War.
- C. Karachi Agreement: This agreement, signed in 1949, established the ceasefire line in Kashmir after the First Indo-Pakistani War, unrelated to Kargil.
- D. None of these: Incorrect, as the Washington Agreement directly led to the war's end.
