Pakistan has officially welcomed the ceasefire understanding between Iran and Israel, urging all parties involved to uphold the agreement and avoid actions that could reignite tensions in the already volatile Middle East.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Foreign Office said Pakistan "welcomes the announcement of the ceasefire understanding between Iran and Israel", and called on the relevant parties to uphold it.
The Foreign Office further emphasized Pakistan’s support for renewed efforts aimed at promoting diplomacy and dialogue in the region, saying that such efforts were essential for lasting peace.
“We also welcome and support the efforts aimed at reviving dialogue and diplomacy in the region,” the spokesperson said.
Reiterating its longstanding commitment to peace, Pakistan stressed that the use of force is not a sustainable solution to regional disputes.
“Peace and stability in the region can only be achieved through strict adherence to the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter and by refraining from the use of force,” the statement added.
