Lord Tariq Ahmad of Wimbledon has expressed “collective hope that peace is imminent with the signing of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran”.

“Notwithstanding all the challenges that were faced and the setbacks which were suffered, against all the odds, it was the relentless shuttle diplomacy of Pakistan under the stewardship of PM Shehbaz and Field Marshal Asim Munir, so ably supported by FM Ishaq Dar and Mohsin Naqvi, that has played a crucial role,” he said.
