#Islamabad today stands as a reminder that dialogue must always prevail over division. As peace talks continue, I pray that wisdom guides all sides towards a just and lasting resolution. Sustainable peace is not only vital for our region and our neighbours, but for a more stable and compassionate world.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi were received by Pakistan's CDF Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Speaker of the Parliament Ayaz Sadiq.
Pakistan is proud to have led with wisdom, resolve, and a steadfast commitment to peace, and remains deeply appreciative of the leadership of Iran and the United States for stepping back from the brink and choosing dialogue over devastation. I commend the tireless efforts of the leadership in Tehran, Washington, and Islamabad in creating the space for de-escalation and diplomacy to prevail.
This ceasefire offers a critical opening for the region to breathe, recover, and turn away from the shadow of a wider war. May this not remain merely a pause in conflict, but become the beginning of a durable peace, one that unlocks stability, promotes cooperation, and advances shared prosperity for our region and the world.
قائدِ عوام شہید ذوالفقار علی بھٹو کے 47ویں یومِ شہادت پر انہیں سرخ سلام پیش کرتے ہیں۔
وہ ایک مدبر رہنما تھے جن کی قربانی جمہوریت اور عوام کے وقار کی لازوال آواز بن گئی۔ ان کی شہادت کسی آواز کا خاموش ہونا نہیں بلکہ ایک قوم کے ضمیر کی بیداری تھی۔
شہید ذوالفقار علی بھٹو نے قوم کو 1973 کا متفقہ آئین دیا، عوام کو ووٹ کی طاقت دی، محروم طبقات کو آواز دی، امت مسلمہ کو یکجہ کیا اور پاکستان کی خودمختاری کو ناقابلِ تسخیر بنیاد فراہم کی۔
آج ہم عہد کرتے ہیں کہ اس خواب کو ایک مضبوط، جمہوری اور فلاحی پاکستان کی صورت میں حقیقت بنائیں گے۔
