US President Donald Trump's claim that he personally brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan during May's conflict has caused some diplomatic friction.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Trump in a telephone call that the ceasefire was achieved through talks between the Indian and Pakistani militaries and not US mediation, India's foreign secretary, Vikram Misri, said in a statement following the call.

"PM Modi told President Trump clearly that during this period, there was no talk at any stage on subjects like India-US trade deal or US mediation between India and Pakistan," Misri said.

"Prime Minister Modi emphasized that India has not accepted mediation in the past and never will," Misri added.

There was no separate readout of the call from the White House.

Modi and Trump were scheduled to meet on the sidelines of the Group of Seven (G7) Summit in Canada, but didn't because of the US president's hasty departure due to the situation in the Middle East.
