Pakistan’s Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has highlighted Islamabad’s diplomatic efforts to help ease tensions between the United States and Iran, while inviting SCO Plus leaders to Pakistan for a major meeting in 2027.
Speaking during regional engagements, Sharif emphasized Pakistan’s role in promoting dialogue and encouraging a peaceful resolution to disputes affecting regional stability.
He said Islamabad remains committed to diplomacy and believes that negotiations are essential to preventing further escalation and protecting peace across the region.
Sharif also invited leaders and representatives from SCO Plus countries to visit Islamabad in 2027, offering Pakistan as a venue for wider regional discussions and cooperation.
The invitation reflects Islamabad’s efforts to strengthen its position within the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and deepen engagement with countries beyond the core membership.
Pakistan is seeking greater cooperation in areas including trade, investment, connectivity, security and economic development.
The prime minister’s comments come as regional tensions remain high and diplomatic efforts continue to address disputes involving major global powers.
Islamabad says its mediation role demonstrates Pakistan’s commitment to peaceful dialogue and its willingness to contribute to regional stability.
The proposed 2027 gathering could provide another platform for SCO Plus countries to discuss shared challenges and expand economic and diplomatic partnerships.
For Pakistan, the initiative represents an opportunity to combine its growing diplomatic engagement with a broader push for stronger regional cooperation.
