Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has requested President Trump to extend the 8 p.m. EDT deadline for Iran to make a deal, stating that diplomatic efforts for a peaceful resolution of the ongoing war in the Middle East are making steady progress. In a meeting with the US President on Tuesday, Prime Minister Sharif appealed for a two-week extension to allow diplomacy to run its course and find a lasting solution to the conflict.
Pakistan, being a close neighbor and a key player in the region, has always been deeply concerned about the escalating tensions in the Middle East. As a responsible and peace-loving nation, Pakistan has consistently advocated for a diplomatic solution to the crisis, and Prime Minister Sharif’s recent efforts are a testament to this commitment.
In his meeting with President Trump, Prime Minister Sharif highlighted the efforts made by Pakistan and other regional players to bring all parties to the negotiating table. He emphasized the need for all stakeholders to engage in meaningful dialogue and find a way to de-escalate the situation. The Prime Minister also stressed the importance of giving diplomacy a chance to work and urged the US President to extend the deadline for Iran to make a deal.
Pakistan’s stance on the Middle East crisis has been clear and unwavering. We firmly believe that war is not the solution and that dialogue and diplomacy are the only way to resolve conflicts and maintain peace in the region. Our country has always played a constructive role in promoting peace and stability, and we will continue to do so.
Prime Minister Sharif’s request for an extension of the deadline is a reflection of Pakistan’s sincere efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis. It also shows our commitment to working closely with the international community to bring an end to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. We believe that this extension will provide an opportunity for all parties to engage in meaningful dialogue and find a lasting solution that benefits everyone.
Pakistan has always been a staunch supporter of the United Nations and its efforts to maintain international peace and security. We firmly believe in the principles of the UN Charter, which call for the peaceful settlement of disputes and the respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations. We urge all parties involved to adhere to these principles and work towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
Moreover, Prime Minister Sharif’s request for an extension of the deadline also aligns with the recent efforts made by the international community to de-escalate tensions in the region. The European Union, China, and Russia have all called for restraint and urged all parties to engage in dialogue to find a solution. Pakistan fully supports these efforts and believes that a united and coordinated approach is necessary to resolve the crisis.
In conclusion, Pakistan stands firmly by its commitment to promoting peace and stability in the Middle East. We believe that extending the deadline for Iran to make a deal will provide an opportunity for all parties to engage in meaningful dialogue and find a lasting solution to the conflict. We urge President Trump to consider Prime Minister Sharif’s request and give diplomacy a chance to work.
