Pakistan's ambassador to Türkiye said Wednesday that Islamabad remained in close contact with Ankara throughout diplomatic efforts that led to a ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, underscoring the two countries' longstanding strategic partnership and shared approach to regional peace.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA), Ambassador Yusuf Junaid said negotiations held in Islamabad helped pave the way for the agreement and that a final signing ceremony is expected to take place on Friday, as previously announced by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
"We remained in continuous contact with the brotherly leadership of Türkiye throughout this process and maintained a common position on all these issues," Junaid said.
The ambassador described peace and stability as key priorities of Pakistan's foreign policy, which he said is guided by the vision of the country's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, emphasizing friendship with all nations, particularly neighboring states.
Junaid said wars and conflicts benefit no one and often result in severe humanitarian and economic consequences. He stressed that Pakistan seeks to play a constructive role in resolving regional and international crises through diplomacy and dialogue.
