Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed on Saturday Pakistan’s firm commitment to regional peace during a telephone call with Iranian President Dr Masoud Pezeshkian.
The two leaders held a warm and cordial conversation lasting fifty minutes, during which they exchanged detailed views on the prevailing regional situation and ongoing efforts to promote peace and stability. The prime minister appreciated the participation of a high-level Iranian delegation in talks held in Islamabad.
PM Shehbaz also welcomed Iran’s decision to send a delegation led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Islamabad, which held key meetings earlier in the day, including a two-hour discussion with the Prime Minister.
Sharing an overview of his recent diplomatic outreach to several world leaders, the Prime Minister said these engagements had helped build broader consensus in support of sustained dialogue and diplomacy aimed at securing lasting peace in the conflict-affected region.
He expressed appreciation for the discussions held between the Iranian leadership and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir during the latter’s recent visit to Tehran earlier this month.
President Pezeshkian thanked PM Shehbaz, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar for their contribution to peace efforts. He expressed Iran’s desire for peace and confidence that fraternal ties between Iran and Pakistan would continue to strengthen.
Moreover, the prime Minister conveyed his respectful greetings to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
Both leaders agreed to maintain close coordination.
