'Historic Step Towards Peace:' Pakistan to Host US-Iran Signing Ceremony in Geneva

Pakistan is set to host a significant peace agreement signing ceremony between the United States and Iran in Geneva on June 19, marking what Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has described as a "historic step towards peace."

Following weeks of intensive mediation efforts by Pakistan, an agreement has been reached to end a conflict that erupted on February 28. Prime Minister Sharif announced that Pakistan would proudly host the ceremony, emphasizing the nation's commitment to fostering peace and dialogue.

“

The signing ceremony of this historic agreement will be held on Friday, June 19, in Geneva, and by the grace of God, it will be hosted by Pakistan.

"The signing ceremony of this historic agreement will be held on Friday, June 19, in Geneva, and by the grace of God, it will be hosted by Pakistan,” Sharif stated during a debate in the National Assembly. He had previously announced that an agreement between Washington and Tehran had been reached, signaling an end to hostilities.

“

Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

Pakistan has played an active role throughout the conflict, mediating peace talks and hosting the initial round in Islamabad in April. Although those talks concluded without an immediate agreement, they did not result in a breakdown, paving the way for the current accord.

"Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” the prime minister said, adding that the world has achieved a "historic milestone” of peace. He celebrated the outcome as a "new dawn" after three months and 16 days of tireless efforts, commending the leadership of both the US and Iran for their patience and sense during the difficult negotiations.

This is not an agreement between two countries, but it is the success of peace and dialogue - a diplomatic success.
