Pakistan Renews Global Respect After US‑Iran Mediation Effort

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is addressing the National Assembly. He opened his speech by noting that Pakistan has earned worldwide respect for its role in mediating between the US and Iran. “Several countries have sought such respect for centuries, but could not enjoy the honour that God has bestowed on Pakistan today. From Japan to Saudi Arabia, from Kuala Lumpur to Casablanca and from Mexico to India, if a nation’s name resonates with respect and honour, it is Pakistan,” he said. The premier explained that if the Assembly adopted a resolution acknowledging this achievement, it would affirm Pakistan’s success in peace-building and send a message of unity and solidarity to the world. He urged members across the aisle to collectively demonstrate that, despite political differences, the nation remains united in pursuit of national causes. He added that overlooking the individuals who worked tirelessly—night and day—for peace between the US and Iran would be unfair to himself, to the House, and to the people of Pakistan. “It is an undeniable truth, whether we like it or not, that Field Marshal Asim Munir played a key role in this,” he concluded.
