Pakistan army chief says mediation efforts aimed at lasting peace

Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir said Islamabad is conducting “neutral mediation” in the Middle East aimed at achieving lasting peace amid ongoing regional tensions and conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.

Munir said Pakistan was making “every effort” to ensure the success of the mediation initiative and would continue those efforts.

Pakistan has increasingly positioned itself as a diplomatic intermediary in recent weeks as international actors push for negotiations to end the conflict and restore stability in the region.
