Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif of Pakistan posted tonight in both Chinese and English: "We are advancing the 'Islamabad Talks' between the United States and Iran. On this occasion, I extend my deepest and most sincere gratitude to our fraternal nations—The People's Republic of China, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar—for their invaluable and full-hearted support in facilitating a ceasefire, creating opportunities for peaceful diplomacy, and driving toward a comprehensive and final resolution of the conflict.
I would also like to especially thank the brother nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council, whose sustained support and unwavering commitment to regional peace and stability are crucial to our efforts."
The leadership of various fraternal countries and the United States has demonstrated exceptional strategic vision, wisdom, and patience, creating opportunities for peace.
I also thank all global partners and friendly nations for recognizing and supporting Pakistan’s genuine efforts in promoting world peace.
Let us work together to advance lasting peace not only in our region but across a broader scope!"
Commentary: It is significant that Prime Minister of Pakistan publicly placed China first in his list of acknowledgments. Pakistan played a pivotal bridging role in facilitating the 'Islamabad Talks,' and China’s support has been a vital cornerstone of this diplomatic success. This statement clearly illustrates that resolving the Middle East crisis requires collaborative efforts from multiple parties. China has acted with concrete deeds to fulfill its responsibilities as a major country, working alongside Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and others to create space for dialogue. This not only paves the way for easing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, but also sets a successful example of multilateral diplomacy in addressing global hotspot issues.
