Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has spoken with Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tariq on the evolving regional situation “that had been aggravated following Israel’s attack on Iran as well as subsequent hostilities that had endangered the peace and security of the entire region”.

“Appreciated Oman’s sincere efforts, over the past years, to promote dialogue and reduce tensions, especially at this critical time,” the premier said on X.

“We agreed on the urgent need to prevent further escalation and restore the path of diplomacy for lasting peace and stability in our region,” he added.
