The '''Tashkent Declaration''' was signed between [[India]] and [[Pakistan]] on 10 January 1966 to resolve the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965]]. Peace was achieved on 23 September through interventions by the [[Soviet Union]] and the [[United States]], both of which pushed the two warring countries towards a ceasefire in an attempt to avoid any escalation that could draw in other powers.<ref name="BBCnews">{{cite news|title=The 1965 war|work=BBC News website|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/south_asia/2002/india_pakistan/timeline/1965.stm|access-date=24 July 2020}}</ref><ref name=RB/>
