Had the honour of presenting Pakistan’s statement on enforced disappearances in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir during the United Nations General Assembly session. Will be representing Pakistan here for the next two weeks 🇵🇰 🇺🇳

Those who don’t know yet, our hero Ishaq Dar sahab sustained an injury (hairline fracture in his shoulder) today while receiving the Foreign Minister of Egypt. Despite this, he continued throughout the day, taking painkillers and successfully completed all high-priority meetings in an excellent manner. At around 9 PM, after recording the official statement and concluding what was a significant day for Pakistan on a strong note, he underwent a medical check-up at his family’s insistence. His X-rays are, overall, satisfactory. However, there is a hairline fracture in his shoulder. You are our hero and this nation will always love you! 🇵🇰♥️

Strong, steady diplomacy led by Foreign Minister @MIshaqDar50 and the capable leadership of Foreign Secretary @amnabaloch4 — a powerful reminder of the role of women at the highest levels of global diplomacy. A masterclass in balance, restraint, and strategic statecraft. 🇵🇰

I am pleased to share a great news that the Government of Iran has agreed to allow 20 more ships under the Pakistani flag to pass through the Strait of Hormuz; two ships will cross the Strait daily. This is a welcome and constructive gesture by Iran and deserves appreciation. It is a harbinger of peace and will help usher stability in the region. This positive announcement marks a meaningful step toward peace and will strengthen our collective efforts in that direction. Dialogue, diplomacy, and such confidence-building measures are the only way forward. @JDVance @SecRubio @araghchi @SteveWitkoff

Looking forward to welcoming my brother Foreign Ministers of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Egypt to Islamabad. @FaisalbinFarhan @HakanFidan @mfaEgypt

There has been unnecessary speculation in the media regarding peace talks to end ongoing conflict in the Middle East. In reality, US-Iran indirect talks are taking place through messages being relayed by Pakistan. In this context, the United States has shared 15 points, being deliberated upon by Iran. Brotherly countries of Turkiye and Egypt, among others, are also extending their support to this initiative. Pakistan remains fully committed to promoting peace and continues to make every effort to ensure stability in the region and beyond. Dialogue and Diplomacy is the only way forward! @SecRubio @araghchi @SteveWitkoff

One of the most harrowing, soul shaking atrocities to have come out recently. There is a special place in hell for the perpetrators.

While the world celebrates Eid, here in Gaza, fathers place new Eid clothes on the graves of their children. Here, we live in a world cut off from the rest of the world, a forgotten, oppressed people subjected to genocide and ethnic cleansing for the third year, with no one stopping it. This is what Eid looks like in Gaza.

On the occasion of Pakistan Day (23 March), @ROinPakistan announces the historic launch of the first-ever choral arrangement and score of Pakistan’s national anthem, Qaumi Tarana 🇵🇰🇷🇴 Realized by the National Chamber Choir “Madrigal – Marin Constantin” with the support of the Embassy, this unique cultural project represents a true musical milestone 🎶✨ For the first time, a fully notated choral score has been created for an anthem originally conceived as an orchestral composition—requiring a complete rethinking of how its rich musical language could be expressed through human voices alone. The process involved significant artistic and technical challenges 🎼 With its wide tonal range, complex harmonic structure, and continuously evolving musical phrasing, the anthem does not naturally lend itself to choral adaptation. The team carefully redistributed orchestral elements across soprano, alto, tenor, and bass voices, ensuring both musical balance and vocal feasibility. Special attention was also given to the precise articulation of the highly Persianized Urdu lyrics in a choral setting. This first-ever choral score stands as a pioneering achievement 🌍🤝 opening a new chapter in the interpretation of Pakistan’s national anthem and celebrating the power of music to connect cultures. @AAliZardari @CMShehbaz @MaryamNSharif @KhawajaMAsif @OfficialDGISPR @HamidMirPak @Iqrarulhassan @MubasherLucman @TalatHussain12 @MoeedNj @asmashirazi @asmashirazi @nadeemmalik @WaseemBadami

Weekly Press Briefing by the Spokesperson @TahirAndrabi On Mediatory Role in the Region and Repatriation of Pakistan Nationals

Shafqat Ali Khan, Ambassador of Pakistan to the UAE visited Sheikh Shakhbout Hospital and met injured Pakistani nationals receiving treatment. He wished them a speedy recovery, appreciated the hospital administration for their care, and lauded the UAE government’s commitment to providing top-tier medical care to all affected residents. 🇵🇰🇦🇪

Pakistani nationals in Iran, who are without valid documents and wish to return to 🇵🇰, may kindly immediately reach the Zahedan Deportation Centre. They should bring proof of citizenship (CNIC or passport – original, photocopy, or electronic copy) based on whose authenticity Iranian authorities will allow their exit from Iran to 🇵🇰. Upon arrival at the Pakistan border, a NADRA Van has been deployed which will verify their nationality and thereafter allow them to enter Pakistan. My best wishes for those who wish to return this way & safe travels !

Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister chaired a meeting with senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to review implementation of the austerity measures announced by the Prime Minister. DPM/FM stressed the need for fiscal discipline, prudent use of public resources, and aligning the Ministry’s operations with the government’s commitment to economic responsibility. He emphasized efficient administrative practices and limiting expenditures to essential commitments, directing officials to identify areas where costs can be optimized without affecting Pakistan’s diplomatic outreach and consular services. Reaffirming full support for the government’s austerity drive, DPM/FM underscored the Ministry’s commitment to responsible governance, transparency, and efficient utilization of public funds while continuing to safeguard Pakistan’s foreign policy interests.

Prayers for the two Pakistanis who have lost their lives in UAE due to the ongoing conflict. May Allah grant them the highest place in jannah and shower their loved ones with patience.
