Iran-Israel tensions
\nIslamabad
\nChina lauded on Tuesday Pakistan\u2019s proactive and positive role in pursuing regional peace, particularly through diplomatic channels including the United Nations Security Council, amid heightened tensions following the recent Iran-Israel conflict.
\nOn Sunday, the UN Security Council held an emergency session, where China, Russia, and Pakistan jointly called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the Middle East.
\nChinese Ambassador to Pakistan Jiang Zaidong called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad and the two leaders discussed the evolving regional security situation and matters of mutual interest.
\nDuring the meeting, the Chinese envoy praised Pakistan\u2019s consistent efforts at international forums for a peaceful resolution to regional challenges, emphasising the need for dialogue and diplomacy.
\nEarlier today, the premier also met separately with the ambassadors of Saudi Arabia and Qatar to discuss the rapidly deteriorating Middle East situation, particularly in the wake of Iran\u2019s missile strike on the United States\u2019 Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
\nThe missile attack, carried out late Monday night, came amid Iran\u2019s vows to retaliate for recent US airstrikes on its nuclear facilities.
\nShehbaz reaffirmed Pakistan\u2019s unwavering solidarity with the people of Saudi Arabia and Qatar and stressed that diplomacy remained the only path to lasting peace in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
