Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has extended gratitude to senior Pakistani officials, as well as friendly nations, for their support during the US-Iran peace process.

Addressing a delegation-level meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, the premier has thanked Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir, who “toiled and worked untiringly through the nights, through those dark days with one mission: come what may, we will do everything humanly possible to stop this war, which can burn vast swathes of land and devastate everything.”

Recalling the first session of the technical discussions at Burgenstock, the premier appreciates the efforts of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and his team, as well as Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, for “his fine shuttle diplomacy”.

“In that, brother Abbas Araghchi has played a pivotal role,” he adds, acknowledging the “support” that Pakistan has received from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Egypt.
