Pakistan's name reverberating with respect globally after US-Iran deal, says PM Sharif

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared that Pakistan's name is now "reverberating with respect and honour" across the globe, attributing this newfound international standing to its successful mediation in the US-Iran deal. Addressing the National Assembly, Sharif asserted that many nations have sought such global respect for centuries without achieving it, contrasting this with Pakistan's current standing.

From Japan to Saudi Arabia, from Kuala Lumpur to Casablanca and from Mexico to India, if any country’s name is reverberating with respect and honour, it is Pakistan.

Sharif highlighted the broad international recognition Pakistan has received, citing examples from Japan to Saudi Arabia and Mexico to India. He emphasized that this success in peace endeavors is not just a "great success" for Pakistan but also sends a powerful message of unity and solidarity to the world. He called upon members of the National Assembly to pass a resolution in this regard, underscoring the importance of presenting a united front on national causes despite political disparities.

A significant portion of Sharif's address was dedicated to acknowledging the pivotal role of Field Marshal Asim Munir in facilitating the US-Iran peace process. The Prime Minister stated that he would be remiss if he did not specifically name those who worked "day and night" for peace, even at personal cost. He credited Munir with working tirelessly for the past two to three months to restore peace between the two nations, sacrificing sleep in the process.

“

It is an undeniable truth, whether we like it or not, that the most significant role in this is of Field Marshal Asim Munir, who worked tirelessly day and night, sacrificing his sleep, for the last two to three months to restore peace.

Sharif urged both sides of the political aisle to come together, stating, "It is an undeniable truth, whether we like it or not, that the most significant role in this is of Field Marshal Asim Munir." He expressed a desire for a collective message to the world that, despite political differences, Pakistan stands united for its national interests and causes. The Prime Minister indicated that the National Assembly's adoption of a resolution would further affirm this message of unity and Pakistan's diplomatic achievements.

“

Despite our political differences, we will always be united for national causes.
