“The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.”

PM Shehbaz expressed his gratitude to the US and Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the war, also thanking Qatar for its support in reaching the agreement.

“I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Turkiye for their immense contributions in this regard,” the premier adds.
