ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Jun, 2026) Member National Assembly (MNA) Anjum Aqeel Khan from Pakistan Muslim League -Nawaz (PML-N) on Wednesday appreciated Pakistan’s diplomatic contribution to the US-Iran peace deal in Geneva, saying the development had weakened anti-Pakistan narratives and highlighted the country’s constructive international role.

Anjum Aqeel expressed hope that the agreement would bring economic stability globally and that its positive impact would also benefit Pakistan and provide relief to the common people under the vision of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

He said the country’s success reflected the strength of its defence capabilities and national resilience, which had enhanced Pakistan’s position at the international level.

He added that PML-N led government was taking steps to further strengthen the country’s foundations by increasing support for key sectors, including defence, exports, tax relief measures and skill development programmes.

Anjum Aqeel said these initiatives would help promote economic stability, empower the youth and contribute to building a stronger and self-reliant Pakistan.

To another query, Anjum Aqeel Khan said that a seven percent increase was not enough considering the inflationary pressures, but expressed confidence that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would provide maximum relief to the people.

He said the government was focused on addressing public concerns and improving economic conditions.

He expressed hope that the next budget would be more beneficial and bring further relief for citizens.
