Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan had achieved financial stability and was now ready for growth as he paid tribute to overseas Pakistanis during an interaction at Pakistan High Commission in London, Radio Pakistan reported Sunday.
“Pakistan is making quick progress with the economic, foreign relations and military fronts,” said the prime minister, adding that the recent gains were the result of “sincerity, hard work and team effort.”
He also mentioned, “We can overcome any difficulty and make progress in cooperation, consultations, sincerity, sustained efforts and unity,” he said, emphasizing that Pakistan has regained ‘dignity and respect in the Nations Committee’.
The Prime Minister said his speech at the United Nations General Assembly (Unga) reflected the feelings of Pakistanis and highlighted the questions of Kashmir and Palestine. “Kashmir will get his freedom one day,” he said, adding that the population of Gaza is sustained ‘oppression and brutality, which is never seen before in the world’.
Shehbaz noted that a recent meeting with Arabic-Islamic countries with US President Donald Trump would produce ‘encouraging results’ in Gaza. He said 64,000 Muslims, including women and children, had been martyrated. He also described his meeting with President Trump in Washington as ‘constructive and productive’ and called it a ‘springboard’ for better bilateral ties.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Shehbaz Sharif had ‘effectively represented Pakistan’ at Unga, where Pakistan attended about two dozens of meetings. Dar said that eight Muslim countries, including Pakistan, Turkiye and Indonesia, had held conversations with Trump at Gaza, with follow -up meetings.

DAR also credited Shehbaz to save Pakistan from the Economic Standard in 2022 and said the economy had since been stabilized. “Interest rates have fallen to 11 percent from a high of 22 percent, and inflation has fallen to five percent from 30 percent,” he claimed.
Overseas Pakistanis who participated in the event praised Shehbaz Sharif’s Unga speech, especially his steps in highlighting Kashmir and Palestine questions, saying it was ‘among the most listened to the session’. The Prime Minister later registered his impressions in the High Commission’s guestbook.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who attended the 80th session in the United Nations General Assembly (Unga) on Friday, was formerly hosted by US President Donald Trump for White House conversations on Thursday, in the latest sign of warm -up relations between Washington and South Asian nuclear power.

PM calls for peace, dialogue at Unga session
With the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (Unga), Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif paid tribute to the decisive response from Pakistan’s armed forces on the Indian aggression as one who ‘will repeat itself through the annals of history’. However, he called for peace and said, “We have won the war, and now we are looking to win peace.”
PM Shehbaz said: “Pakistan’s foreign policy, guided by the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, is rooted in peace, mutual respect and cooperation. We believe in the peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue.”
He recalled that he had warned from the same podium last year that Pakistan would act resolutely against external aggression. “Those words of me turned out to be true. When in May this year, my country confronted unprovoked aggression from our eastern front, the enemy came shrouded in arrogance; we sent them back in humiliation and delivered a bloody nose,” he said.
The Prime Minister declared that Pakistan had shot seven Indian aircraft as an act of self-defense under the UN-Charter in response to the India aggression.
The Prime Minister also expanded an offer to India for a comprehensive and result -oriented dialogue on all outstanding issues, stressing that South Asia needs proactive, not provocative leadership.
When repeating Pakistan’s decision to defend his 240 million people’s right to the Indus colors, the Prime Minister warned that any violation of the treaty would be considered ‘an act of war’.
