Pakistan Wins Global Praise for Helping Secure Iran-US Ceasefire

ISLAMABAD — The civil and military leadership of Pakistan has been praised by international leaders and ambassadors for their successful diplomatic participation in a crucial ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran.

Following talks with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, US President Donald J. Trump established a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
