Pakistan in diplomatic overdrive - here’s what it means https://t.co/skEjGAtgDJ

White House:

This is important to Trump: the Pakistanis have been incredible mediators, and we appreciate their friendship and their efforts.

They are the only mediator in this negotiation.

How Pakistan made the world over 3 trillion dollars richer

On April 7, the world edged toward Trump's 8pm ultimatum that "a whole civilization will die tonight." By mid-afternoon, Polymarket gave less than a 5% chance for a ceasefire. But then in a flurry of last-minute diplomacy led by Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif, ceasefire odds shifted from near-impossibility to 100%, as both U.S. and Iranian leadership publicly acknowledged the important role played by Pakistan.

The sharp shift in probability of ceasefire from near-zero to certainty, allows us to estimate cleanly the market value of Pakistan's successful diplomacy. There was a sharp jump of 2.9% in S&P500 around the ceasefire announcement. The reaction was similar the world over.

Global markets represent about $125T, so a 2.9% jump represents a gain of 3.6 trillion dollars for the world. Pakistan helped create TEN times its own GDP for the world!

For me, the best part is not the trillions of dollar, but seeing Pakistan on the world stage as a peace maker.

I hope Pakistan runs with this new identity by promoting peace not only abroad, but also at home. That means moving away from politics of division and exclusion, and treating every citizen as its own.

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

As we proceed to *Islamabad Talks*, I wish to extend our deepest and sincere gratitude to our brotherly countries People’s Republic of China, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Republic of Türkiye, Arab Republic of Egypt and State of Qatar for extending invaluable and all out support towards reaching the ceasefire and giving peaceful diplomatic efforts a chance to seek a comprehensive and conclusive end to the conflict.

I would also like to deeply appreciate and thank our brotherly countries of Gulf Cooperation Council, whose consistent support and commitment to peace and stability in the region remains quintessential for our efforts.

The leadership of all our brotherly countries and United States of America demonstrated exceptional strategic foresight, sagacity and patience in giving peace a chance.

I also thank all our partners and friends across the globe who have reached out and acknowledged Pakistan’s sincere efforts for the global peace.

Let us all work together to forge a lasting peace in the region and beyond!

لاھور، اسلام آباد، گجرانوالہ کی یہ تصاویر صرف پیٹرول کے لیے قطاروں کی نہیں بلکہ عوام کے کرب، تکلیف اور بے بے بسی کی داستان ہے۔ میری دعا ہے انھی قطاروں میں عمران خان، اسکو مسلط کرنے والے اور وزرا بھی کھڑے ہوں تاکہ انھیں پتہ چلے کہ عوام پر کیا قیامت ٹوٹی ہے۔

میں PTI کے کارکنوں سے درخواست کرتا ہوں کہ اپنے اکابرین کو تنگ نا کریں کہ بس بسم اللہ جلدی نکلو ورنہ ہم ایسا کرینگے۔

آپ ہمارے بچے ہیں۔ ہم آپ کو اس طرح نہیں جلاسکتے جیسے کوئی ملنگ سپلنی جلاتا ہے۔ ہم اپنی خواہشات کیلئے تمہیں موت کے حوالے نہیں کرسکتے

تحریک ہم نے مل کر چلانی ہے

[Furqan Shabbir @furqanadv]

کہ تم کھڑے تھے
لہو میں بھیگے تمام موسم گواہی دیں گے کہ تم کھڑے تھے
وفا کے رستے کا ہر مسافر گواہی دے گا کہ تم کھڑے تھے
سحر کا سورج گواہی دے گا کہ جب اندھیرے کی کوکھ میں سے نکلنے والے یہ سوچتے تھے
کہ کوئی جگنو نہیں بچا ہے تو تم کھڑے تھے.

Squadron Leader Usman Yousaf Shaheed embraced shahadat in addition to 4 additional shaheeds (names yet to be released by PAF) in India's drone attack on Bholari Air Base, Sind.
Spoke with Squadron Leader Usman Yousaf Shaheed's brother and condoled with him. The sacrifice of Squadron Leader Usman Yousaf Shaheed will never be forgotten because he sacrificed his present for Pakistan's brighter future. May Allah Almighty grant the soul of Squadron Leader Usman Yousaf Shaheed the highest place in Jannat ul Firdous and grant the family members the strength to bear this irreperable loss. PTI stands by our soldiers, airmen, sailors and officers defending Pakistan. @PTIofficial
