PM Shehbaz Sharif is speaking in the National Assembly about Pakistan’s mediation efforts in the US-Iran war.

He noted that God had bestowed immense respect upon Pakistan.

“From Japan to Saudi Arabia, from Kuala Lumpur to Casablanca, and from Mexico to India, if any country’s name is echoing around the world with respect and dignity, it is Pakistan’s,” he remarked.
