Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi here on Thursday urged India and Pakistan to exercise restraint and create an atmosphere of trust and transparency.

"For the safety, security and well-being of all our children, I appeal to the governments of India and Pakistan to exercise restraint. I urge Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi and Prime Minister (Imran) Khan to create an atmosphere of trust and transparency, and work together to uproot terrorism in all earnestness," Satyarthi said in a statement.

He also appealed religious leaders, media and youth of both the countries to work with their governments for restoring peace.

"Terrorism in any part of the world is a threat to humanity. Our children have the right to grow up in peace," he noted.
