Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called on all parties involved in the US Iran ceasefire to strictly follow the agreement and avoid any actions that could derail the fragile peace process. Speaking during a federal cabinet meeting, the premier emphasized that ceasefire violations weaken trust and reduce the chances of achieving long-term stability in the region.

According to him, the ceasefire is only the beginning, and the ultimate goal remains lasting peace.
Recent developments have raised concerns, as reports of violations were highlighted during discussions between Iranian officials and Pakistan’s leadership.

He described the ceasefire as a major diplomatic achievement, made possible through coordinated efforts between political and military leadership.
The prime minister also extended appreciation to Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, the Foreign Office, and Field Marshal Asim Munir for their continuous engagement with international counterparts. He credited their efforts for helping secure the ceasefire agreement and opening the door for further negotiations.
In a move to strengthen dialogue, PM Shehbaz has invited leaders from both sides to Islamabad for continued peace talks, aiming to reach a comprehensive and lasting agreement.
