Islamabad, Pakistan (HRNW)- The Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed deep concern over the escalating tensions in the Middle East, emphasizing that finding an immediate and permanent solution is vital. During a weekly press briefing, Foreign Office Spokesperson Tahir Hussain Andrabi stated that diplomacy and dialogue remain the only effective paths to resolving regional conflicts.
Pak-Afghan Dialogue and Counter-Terrorism
The Foreign Office confirmed that high-level talks between Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban are currently taking place in Urumqi, China. The primary objective of the Pakistani delegation is to ensure the complete cessation of terrorism emanating from Afghan soil. The spokesperson demanded that the Afghan Taliban take concrete and practical steps against terrorist elements. He added that Pakistan remains in constant coordination with China to maintain regional stability.
Pakistan-China Five-Point Peace Plan
A significant breakthrough occurred during Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar’s recent visit to China, where Pakistan and China jointly proposed a Five-Point Peace Plan for the region. Key aspects of this plan include:
-
Immediate ceasefire and preventing the expansion of conflict.
-
Uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid to affected areas.
-
Respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations.
-
Protection of non-military targets and civilian lives/property.
-
Ensuring the safety of commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and restoring normalcy.
Islamabad: Potential Venue for Iran-US Talks
The spokesperson revealed that Pakistan’s peace efforts are gaining significant international traction. Pakistan is actively mediating between Iran and the United States, with Islamabad being considered as a potential venue for future negotiations—an initiative supported by several regional countries. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has furthered this peace process through consultations with the President of Iran, the Crown Prince of Kuwait, and the President of the European Council.
Warning Against Indian Fake News
The Foreign Office warned that a large-scale campaign of fake news is being orchestrated by India to sabotage Pakistan’s successful diplomacy. Citizens and media outlets are urged to remain vigilant against misleading reports originating from Indian sources regarding Iran-US tensions or Pakistan’s mediation role, as these are designed to undermine Pakistan’s credible diplomatic standing.
