Pakistan seeks peace in ‘our part of world’ after defeating India

new york
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) that Pakistan sought peace in the region after it delivered a “bloody nose” to India in the May conflict.
“We have won the war, and now we seek to win peace in our part of the world, and this is my most sincere and serious offer before this assembly of the world nations,” the prime minister said at the August forum in New York.
Pakistan and India engaged in a four-day fight — their worst in decades — after New Delhi’s unprovoked assault on Islamabad following a terrorist attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. India blames Pakistan for the attack, a charge that Islamabad has vehemently denied.
“Last year, from this very podium, I had warned that Pakistan would act — and act most decisively — against any external aggression. Those words of mine proved true. I hoped they would not. But then, that is destiny,” the prime minister stressed.
In May this year, he recalled, “My country confronted unprovoked aggression from our eastern front. The enemy came shrouded in arrogance; we sent them back in humiliation, delivering a bloody nose”.
“India sought to extract political gains from a human tragedy by spurning my sincere offer of an independent international investigation into the Pahalgam incident,” he said.
The prime minister added that instead, New Delhi attacked Pakistani cities and targeted innocent citizens. “When our territorial integrity and national security were violated, our response was in accordance with the right of self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter.”
Sought peace despite upper hand
The premier said that Pakistan’s valiant armed forces, under the leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir, mounted an operation of stunning professionalism and bravery, repulsing the enemy’s attack under the air chief marshal.
“Our falcons took flight and etched their answer across the skies, resulting in seven of the Indian jets turning to scrap and dust — a decisive response. A response to the aggressor that will echo through the annals of history.”
“To the fair architect of this victory, to every officer and soldier, heirs of our martyrs — their names are forever engraved in glory,” he said. “The mothers of our martyrs — their courage guides our path forward, and their sacrifice shall never be in vain, God willing. And to every Pakistani, you stood as one unbreakable wall — Bunyanum Marsoos,” he added.
Though in a position of strength, he stressed, Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire facilitated by President Trump’s bold and vigorous leadership. He expressed deep appreciation to him and his team for their active role in bringing about the ceasefire.
