ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday welcomed continued diplomatic momentum following the initial round of talks in Islamabad between the United States and Iran, noting sustained efforts helped continuity of the ceasefire.
In a statement, PTI Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram viewed these recent developments as encouraging signs that the process is moving in the right direction.
“This responsibility demands consistency, patience, and principled diplomacy, which the State of Pakistan has continued to demonstrate through its actions,” he underlined.
He said the recent high-level engagements by Pakistan with key regional capitals, including visits to Tehran, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, reflected the state’s proactive and balanced diplomatic outreach aimed at de-escalation and consensus building.
“These efforts underscore Pakistan’s growing credibility as a responsible mediator in the region,” he noted.
He pointed out that it was particularly noteworthy that the United States administration had expressed confidence in Pakistan’s constructive role and mediation capacity, while acknowledging its ability to facilitate dialogue in this highly sensitive and complex situation.
Such recognition, he stressed, reinforced the importance of Pakistan’s continued engagement as a bridge for peace. He noted that at this critical juncture, Pakistan was not only hosting talks but was also hosting history and helping write the future of the region and the world.
He maintained that Pakistan’s role must remain firmly anchored in strengthening peace, not in taking sides.
“The State’s diplomatic initiatives, supported by friendly countries in the region and beyond, have helped sustain the ceasefire environment and keep channels of communication open during this critical period,” he observed.
