Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a telephonic conversation with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday hoped that a peace deal between Iran and the US could be finalised soon. The Prime Minister’s Office in a statement said that President Pezeshkian had telephoned PM Shehbaz to extend Eid greetings in a call that lasted around 30 minutes. During the call, PM Shehbaz hoped that a peace deal which afforded dignity and honour to the Iranian nation could be reached soon. “This would help unlock the true economic potential of Iran and benefit the entire region,” the premier said. The prime minister stated that as a brotherly and neighbouring country, “Pakistan would always stand by Iran and that a great future lay ahead for both countries, once peace was restored in the region.” The two leaders also exchanged Eid greetings and conveyed their best wishes to each other, the people of their two countries, and the Muslim Ummah, the PMO added.
