ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to promoting peace in the Middle East, stating that Islamabad will continue its full diplomatic efforts to help resolve the ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran.
Speaking on the recent developments, the prime minister highlighted that Pakistan successfully facilitated high-level direct talks between Washington and Tehran — marking a significant diplomatic breakthrough, as it was the first time both sides engaged in direct negotiations at this level.
Despite intensive discussions, no final agreement has been reached so far. However, PM Shehbaz emphasized that diplomatic channels remain open and efforts are ongoing to achieve a sustainable and peaceful resolution.
Pakistan’s role as a mediator has been widely recognized, with officials noting that the country is actively working to reduce tensions and prevent further escalation in the region.
The development comes at a critical time, as global concerns grow over the possibility of a wider conflict if diplomatic efforts fail.
Analysts believe that continued dialogue could pave the way for future agreements, but challenges remain due to deep-rooted differences between the two nations.
