The international community, led by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and several global heads of state, has issued a wave of praise for Pakistan’s pivotal diplomatic intervention in securing a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran. The breakthrough comes at a critical juncture in the Israel-US conflict involving Iran, providing a vital fourteen-day window to continue mediation and prevent a wider regional escalation.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres led the commendations, expressing profound gratitude for Pakistan’s tireless efforts in facilitating the pause in hostilities. Joining the chorus of support, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar bin Ibrahim lauded the diplomatic achievement, while New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Winston Peters acknowledged the significance of the truce in de-escalating current tensions.
The diplomatic success was further highlighted by British High Commissioner Jane Marriott, who took to social media to specifically thank Pakistan for its “quiet, effective, diplomatic role” in brokering the vital ceasefire. Her sentiments were echoed by the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, which issued a statement via AFP welcoming the two-week halt in fighting and calling for the immediate initiation of a “serious and sustainable dialogue” between the involved nations.
The development follows a period of extreme tension marked by US President Donald Trump’s recent threats against Iranian civilian infrastructure. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese addressed these threats, describing such rhetoric as “not appropriate,” while simultaneously welcoming the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire as a “positive” step forward for global security. As the two-week truce begins, Islamabad remains at the center of the mediation process, with world leaders looking to Pakistan to help transition this temporary cessation of glass into a more permanent peace.
