They noted that the announcement of the truce has improved the global atmosphere and helped stabilise financial markets.
They further stated that Pakistan’s role has been widely appreciated internationally, improving the country’s image as a responsible and peace-loving state. Expressions of gratitude from people in Iran and other parts of the region were cited as evidence of the positive perception of Pakistan’s efforts.
