Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday informed United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio about Pakistan's stance on the Pahalgam attack.

According to details, Rubio held a telephone conversation with the premier. On this occasion, PM Shehbaz extended his best wishes for United States President Donald Trump. Pakistan had resolved to work together with the United States in all sectors.

PM Shehbaz made it clear that Pakistan condemned all forms of terrorism. "Pakistan has sacrificed over 90,000 innocent people in the war against terrorism," PM Shehbaz added. The premier declared India's increasingly provocative behaviour as extremely disappointing.

"Pakistan had incurred a loss of over $152 million in the war against terrorism," said the premier.

PM Shehbaz categorically denounced the Indian narrative in connection with the Pahalgam attack. The premier reiterated the demand for a transparent and impartial investigation in line with the Pahalgam attack.

He stressed the need for the United States to mount pressure on India.
"The pressure should be mounted on India to show responsibility instead of embracing provocative behaviour," he said.

"It is deplorable that India has elected to show atrocity against Pakistan. Water is a lifeline of 240 million Pakistanis. Only dealing with the Kashmir issue peacefully is the only way to achieve sustainable peace in South Asia," said PM Shehbaz.

He said: "Pakistan and the United States have worked together for the previous 70 years in bilateral cooperation. Both countries can further bolster cooperation in more sectors."

Rubio expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Shehbaz for holding the telephone conversation in detail. Marco urged the parties to work together in achieving peace and stability in South Asia.
