On Wednesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that the Kingdom of Saudi -Arabia (KSA) or the United Arab Emirates (UAE) could be considered potential venues for any future dialogue between Pakistan and India, where the United States plays a key role in facilitating the negotiations.

Pakistan’s National Security Advisor/DG ISI would represent the country in all such conversations, he confirmed.

The premiere made these comments while talking to senior journalists in the federal capital.

Tensions between Pakistan and India escalated on April 22, after New Delhi accused Islamabad of carrying out an attack in IIOJK’s Tourist Square Pahaldam and killing 26 people.

Tensions further escalated in the early hours of May 7, when missile strikes hit six cities in Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), destroy a mosque and kill dozens of civilians, including women, children and the elderly.

In a rapid military reaction, Pakistan’s armed forces shot Indian war plane, including three Rafale jet aircraft, which is largely considered an important asset to the Indian Air Force.

The confrontation intensified again in the early hours of May 10 when India targeted several Pakistani Airbases with missile attacks. In contrast, Pakistan Operation launched Bunyanum Marsoos, which damaged Indian military installations, including missile storage sites, airbases and other strategic goals.

During a discussion with journalists, the prime minister said Pakistan would choose either Saudi -Arabia or UAE as a meeting place for future conversations with India, where the United States plays a major role. He added that the national security adviser/DG ISI would represent Pakistan in the negotiations.

He emphasized the need for mediation in Indo-Pak talks from international stakeholders-inclusive Saudi Arabia, UAE and especially the United States and said any future negotiations should include a comprehensive agenda that addresses core problems such as Kashmir, Water, Trade and Terrorism.

When he talked about the recent conflict with India, the Prime Minister noted that Pakistan’s armed forces had fought bravely against the enemy.

He maintained that an agreement was reached during communication between the directors of military operations (DGMOs) in both countries that their respective forces would return to positions before conflict. However, no timeline has been set for withdrawal, he said.

The prime minister remembered that under his address at the Kakul Academy he had invited the international community to conduct an open investigation into the Pahaldam attack. He said that Pakistan’s neutral attitude was recognized and that the offer was accepted globally.

When asked if Israel had supported India during the conflict, Shehbaz replied affirmative with reference to reports indicating Israeli presence and assistance. “Despite this, we achieved victory through God’s grace,” he said, adding that Pakistan was using his domestic developed Juwal Fatah missile system during the conflict.

The Prime Minister said that Field Marshal Asim Munir earned respect because of his “bravery and unshakable acts”.

As a result of the Army Chief’s resolute leadership, we requested him to assume the role of Field Marshal, Shehbaz said, adding that it was at the request of the government – not the general’s wish – that he was offered the honor of the honor as a field marshal. “General Munir’s decisive command gave him respect and led us to ask him to accept this role,” Sharif said.

The journalists said of the Prime Minister’s own leadership role during the conflict, which he answered with a smile, “you can call me a political field marsh”.

When he remembered the conflict, the prime minister said he was around 1 p.m. At 2:30 pm, an angry call received from the army chief informing him that India was preparing to launch an attack. “I told the army boss that we didn’t hesitate – answer to India, move on,” he said.

Shehbaz added that Pakistan gave a strong response to a country five times its size, far ahead of both financially and militarily. “India considered himself Sho in the region; we crushed the arrogance. We defended the country solely for the sake of the joy of almighty,” he said.

He further highlighted the bravery and coordination between all defense institutions that credited to air marshals and fleet management for strategic execution.

Shehbaz said that although Pakistan had the ability to destroy several Indian systems, restraint was carried out to avoid further escalation. “We do not want war, but for peace in the region,” he claimed.

The Prime Minister expressed gratitude to Turkey, Saudi -Arabia, UAE, Azerbaijan and especially China for their unshakable support during the conflict.

He noted with entertainment that Pakistan had effectively become a “marketing country for Chinese technology” and reflected on its strategic tools under hostilities.

He confirmed that the government intends to end its period and add, “what happens in the future is in the hands of God – we are focused solely on performing our job.”

He confirmed Pakistan’s attitude that it has never supported terrorism and repeated the country’s commitment to peace and prosperity in the region.
