Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has urged all parties to the conflict in the Middle East exercise restraint to allow peace and diplomacy to succeed.

“The recent surge in violence in the Middle East is a stark reminder of the dangers associated with a tenuous ceasefire and the unbearable consequences it may lead to.

As we work earnestly and painstakingly, together with our brothers and partners, to find a peaceful diplomatic solution to the conflict, and especially when the final objective is just about to be achieved, we sincerely urge all sides to exercise restraint and give peace a little more chance.

Let us continue to remain on the path of peace and diplomacy which have bright prospects of success instead of violence and destruction!” the Pakistani PM wrote on X.
