Naqvi calls ceasefire extension positive step
During the meeting, Mohsin Naqvi welcomed US President Donald Trump’s decision to extend the ceasefire and described it as a positive development.
He said the extension was an important step toward reducing tension in the region. According to Naqvi, the move has created space for diplomacy and raised hopes that the situation can be handled through peaceful means.
He also said that positive progress is expected from Iran, and expressed hope that all parties involved would give diplomacy and a peaceful solution a real chance.
PM Shehbaz, Field Marshal Munir continuing efforts
The minister said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir are continuing efforts at all levels to help resolve the issue.
He noted that Pakistan’s leadership remains actively engaged in trying to support a peaceful outcome. The emphasis, he said, is on encouraging dialogue and helping reduce tensions through coordinated efforts.
US ambassador praises Pakistan’s constructive role
US Ambassador Natalie Baker appreciated Pakistan’s constructive and positive role in promoting peace and helping resolve conflicts in the region.
Her remarks recognized Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to support stability at a sensitive time. The meeting ended with a clear emphasis on diplomacy, dialogue and continuity of contact as the best path toward a durable solution.
Diplomacy remains central to the next phase
