Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Friday that Pakistan’s name was reverberating with respect across the world after the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding — an agreement reached between the US and Iran to end a war that began in late February.
He said this while addressing the National Assembly, noting that Pakistan had earned respect globally after mediating between the US and Iran.
“Several countries have sought such respect for centuries, but could not get the respect that God has blessed Pakistan with today. From Japan to Saudi Arabia, from Kuala Lumpur to Casablanca and from Mexico to India, if any country’s name is reverberating with respect and honour, it is Pakistan,” he said.
The premier said that if the National Assembly adopted a resolution in this regard, it would not just be an affirmation of Pakistan’s “great success” in its peace endeavour, but it would also send a message of unity and solidarity to the world.
