Pakistan's name reverberating with respect across the world, says PM Shehbaz after US-Iran deal

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is currently addressing the National Assembly.

He began his address by 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 being taken 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 success in its peace endeavour, but it would also send a message of unity and solidarity to the world.
