Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced Monday that Pakistan helped bring about a landmark peace agreement between the United States and Iran, with a formal signing ceremony scheduled for Friday, June 19, in Switzerland.<\/p>

Speaking before the National Assembly, Sharif declared that “after the darkness of war, the sun of peace has risen,” noting that both Iran and the United States had agreed to stop all military operations immediately.<\/p>

Sharif extended his congratulations to US President Donald Trump, Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian for reaching the accord. He also expressed gratitude to Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for their contributions to making the agreement possible.<\/p>

The Pakistani prime minister also pointed to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s important role in pushing the agreement forward. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian confirmed Beijing’s support, telling reporters that China welcomes the deal and holds Pakistan’s mediation efforts in high regard.<\/p>

Sharif described the recognition Pakistan has received for its peacemaking role as unprecedented, calling the agreement far more than a bilateral deal. In his words, it represents “a victory for peace and dialogue.”<\/p>

He praised both the American and Iranian leaderships for showing patience and wisdom throughout the difficult negotiation process, stating: “Today, as a result of these efforts, the entire world is witnessing this historic day.”<\/p>

Sharif had first broken the news late Sunday night in a post on the social media platform X, writing: “After prolonged and productive negotiations, a peace agreement has been reached between the United States and Iran. The formal signing ceremony of the agreement will be held on Friday, June 19, in Switzerland.”<\/p>

He noted that the deal covers an immediate and permanent end to military operations on all fronts, Lebanon included, and thanked both nations for choosing a diplomatic path to resolve the conflict.<\/p>

The announcement drew widespread praise from world leaders, many of whom called it a major breakthrough for both regional stability and global diplomacy. Pakistan’s role as a mediator drew particular attention, with observers crediting Islamabad for bringing both sides to the negotiating table.<\/p>

United Nations Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres offered his congratulations to both countries, describing the agreement as “a highly important step toward the peaceful resolution of the conflict” and calling it a rare encouraging moment for diplomacy amid heightened global tensions.<\/p>

Guterres also acknowledged the countries that helped make the deal happen, saying: “I am deeply grateful to Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and other regional countries for their constructive role in the success of these negotiations.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
