Prime Minister held telephonic conversation with Sultan of Oman
Islamabad :- Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif held a telephone conversation with His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, Sultan of Oman.
The two leaders discussed the prevailing regional situation that had aggravated following Israel’s attack on Iran as well as subsequent hostilities that had endangered the peace and security of the entire region.
The Prime Minister said that the escalation had taken place at a time when diplomatic efforts were underway to reduce U.S.-Iran tensions, facilitated by Oman. The attacks had not only derailed the delicate diplomatic process, but had also undermined efforts to promote dialogue and de-escalation in the region. He stressed upon the urgent need to prevent further escalation and to create space for resumption of diplomatic initiatives.
While conveying his deep appreciation for Oman’s mediatory role, the Prime Minister commended His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq for Muscat’s constructive efforts in facilitating dialogue and building trust among regional and international stakeholders. He acknowledged that Oman’s balanced and forward-looking diplomacy was a stabilizing force in the region.
Both leaders agreed to remain in close contact and to continue supporting diplomatic initiatives aimed at restoring calm and ensuring lasting regional stability.
