Acting President Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani has highlighted Pakistan’s “responsible and proactive role” in promoting peace, reconciliation and dialogue at both the regional and international levels, APP reports.

He made the remarks while addressing the Old Ravians Association’s annual dinner held at a hotel.

“The world is changing rapidly and we must adapt ourselves to new global requirements,” Gilani said.

He noted that Pakistan’s mediation efforts for stability in the region, particularly its diplomatic initiatives to reduce tensions and build mutual trust between Iran and the US, were being acknowledged by the international community.
