Behind Field Marshal Munir in Tehran and PM Shehbaz in Beijing - there are hundreds of unnamed people.
Protocol officers. Security teams. Cipher staff. Foreign Office desk officers. Intelligence liaisons. Logistics coordinators.
They don’t get the headlines. They earned this moment.
And what comes next:
US-Iran deal second round - Islamabad.
SCO Heads of State Summit - Islamabad.
Reko Diq - $5 billion annual copper and gold exports beginning 2028. US Ex-Im Bank committed $1.25 billion. IFC committed $700 million.
China - $5 billion in fresh deals signed this week.
Panda Bond - Pakistan’s first yuan-denominated sovereign debt issued in Beijing.
Saudi Arabia - Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement signed 2025. First mutual defence pact between an Arab Gulf state and a nuclear power.
Qatar - comprehensive strategic defence partnership under negotiation.
Kuwait - defence cooperation agreement active.
Turkey - defence production collaboration expanding.
The country that brokered the ceasefire is simultaneously building the security architecture the Gulf trusts more than American guarantees alone.
A few minutes ago, the Honorable Pakistani Minister of Interior, my dear brother H.E. Mohsin Naqvi, congratulated me on the achievements of the negotiations with the officials of my country after returning from Tehran.
With conservative optimism, we can hope that, if the other side is adequately committed, a positive stride is taking shape which is the result of the positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on dignity, the steadfastness of the courageous armed forces and the resistance of the brave Iranian nation, as well as the initiative and dedicated endeavours of the Pakistani mediator.
I hope that the sincere efforts of the esteemed Pakistani government and army, especially H.E. Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Seyed Asim Munir NI(M), HJ, COAS & CDF, for the initiative of mediation, and Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister H.E. Muhammad Ishaq Dar and Interior Minister H.E. Mohsin Naqvi, for their sincere diplomatic efforts, will lead to lasting peace in the region.
On my behalf, i extend my sincere and wholehearted gratitude to all of them for their sincere endeavours.
Rawalpindiz captain Mohammad Rizwan says he believed Hyderabad Kingsmen did not deserve a playoff spot after their last-game performance, revealing he discussed it with Khawaja during a strategic timeout. Rizwan added he personally would have loved to see Lahore Qalandars qualify instead.
مجھے کیوں لگتا ہے کہ میری ٹویٹ میرے ٹویٹر کے کسی دوست کو نظر نہیں آرہی۔ اگر آپ کو نظر آ رہی ہے تو مجھے reply میں hello کر دیں پلیز اور ساتھ ساتھ لائک بھی کر دیں۔ بہت بہت شکریہ 🙏🏻
@ashoswai We also hope that one day there is a PM in India who isn't an extremist towards religious minorities and want to have neighborly relationships with Pakistan
Pakistan Air Force jets are flying over Iranian airspace ready to escort the Iranian delegation to Pakistan in their protective custody.
Literal goosebumps
Nobody says Yahya Khan facilitated U.S.-China rapprochement when Yahya personally relayed hand written notes between Kissinger and Zhou Enlai. We say "Pakistan facilitated". That is how it works.
