British lawmakers highlight Pakistan’s growing influence in promoting dialogue and regional stability between Washington and Tehran
LONDON: Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts to ease tensions between the United States and Iran have received recognition in the United Kingdom’s Parliament, where a British lawmaker praised Islamabad’s proactive role in promoting peace.
During a parliamentary session, Muhammad Afzal Khan commended Pakistan’s engagement in the Middle East, describing its approach as a “leadership role” focused on de-escalation and dialogue between Washington and Tehran. He emphasized that Pakistan’s initiatives are contributing to efforts aimed at ensuring long-term regional stability.
Khan also raised a question directed at the British prime minister, seeking clarity on how the United Kingdom is supporting Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts in facilitating constructive engagement between the two countries.
The discussion comes at a time when tensions between the United States and Iran remain a key concern for global powers. Pakistan has increasingly positioned itself as an intermediary, encouraging both sides to pursue diplomatic solutions over confrontation.
Observers note that such acknowledgment in the UK Parliament reflects growing international recognition of Pakistan’s role in conflict mediation. Islamabad’s continued engagement highlights its strategic intent to foster peace and stability in a volatile region.
