Speaking at the general debate of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif of Pakistan explained that the US-Israel conflict broke out in February this year and spread to the wider Middle East region. As a mediator, Pakistan made concerted efforts with all parties to facilitate dialogue between the US and Iran in Islamabad. From the Islamabad talks to the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding”, many historic steps have been taken to end this serious conflict. He expressed regret over the recent escalation of regional conflict. Shahbaz said that the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Mander are the lifeblood of the global economy and must be unblocked. They cannot be a main source of confrontation; these seas should carry hopes for prosperity rather than the danger of war. Shahbaz also said that Pakistan has made its own choices: Pakistan chose dialogue over confrontation; chose cooperation over coercion; chose peace over war.
