Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently declared Pakistan a global "peacemaker," citing the nation's efforts in facilitating a significant agreement between the United States and Iran. This breakthrough, which aims for a final deal within 60 days, followed high-level talks held in Switzerland last week, mediated by both Qatar and Pakistan.
Sharif highlighted that these talks were conducted under the framework of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which was signed by the U.S. and Iran on June 18. He also announced that Pakistan would host the signing ceremony for this crucial peace deal, further cementing its role in international diplomacy. The Prime Minister's remarks were made during a passing out parade for cadets at the Pakistan Naval Academy in Karachi.
During his address, Mr. Sharif also pointed to the recent visit by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian as a testament to Pakistan's growing importance in promoting regional peace. However, he also took the opportunity to address what he described as multi-faceted security challenges facing Pakistan, including both international and internal threats. In a controversial move, Sharif accused India of using "proxies" to undermine stability within Pakistan, though he did not provide any evidence to support these serious allegations.
