Pakistani leadership at forefront of global stability efforts, wins worldwide recognition, says Sherry Rehman

ISLAMABAD, Apr 9 (APP):Pakistan People’s Party Senior Leader and former US envoy Sherry Rehman hailed Pakistan’s diplomacy as a historic global breakthrough, crediting it with averting a major crisis and calling for continued negotiations to ensure lasting stability.

Speaking exclusively to a local news channel, Rehman said Pakistani leadership has won widespread international acclaim for defusing critical world tensions, playing a pivotal role in the historic U.S.–Iran ceasefire.

       She described the agreement as a landmark achievement at a time when the world was on the edge of

turmoil.

Rehman stressed that dialogue must continue uninterrupted, with flexibility maintained on core issues, and warned that spoilers on social media or any violation of the ceasefire could undermine progress.

 She emphasized that sustained diplomacy and constructive engagement remain the only path to enduring peace.

While highlighting Pakistan’s global recognition, she said that while much of the world faced uncertainty, Pakistan’s leadership brought relief and stability to its citizens.

                 She urged internal politics to be set aside in such historic moments, calling this achievement unprecedented in decades and describing it as nothing short of a miracle, reflecting Pakistan’s strong, capable and respected role on the world stage.

                She specifically lauded President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, noting their relentless efforts and strategic

engagement.

       She also added that their decisive leadership was instrumental in steering the world away from the brink of crisis, earning Pakistan global recognition.

        Sherry also suggested that Islamabad could host extended peace talks in Pakistan’s capital to build on the ceasefire momentum, urging both the United States and Iran to use this window to address core issues such as sanctions, security guarantees and a road map for long-term stability.

          She reiterated that a sustained negotiation framework was vital to prevent a relapse into conflict beyond the initial truce period, adding, both sides should show greater flexibility and mutual trust in upcoming discussions.
