Pakistan Embassy Portugal

Ambassador @aishafarooqui7 was asked to comment by Diario de Noticias @dntwit today on Pakistan's mediation role in brokering a ceasefire in the Middle East. @foreignofficepk @appcsocialmedia @lusa_noticias dn.pt/internacional/…

The Portuguese Government welcomes the ceasefire agreement and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz reached by the United States and Iran. Portugal thanks Pakistan for its mediation, as well as the efforts of all its partners involved in the negotiations. This is a crucial first step toward a lasting and sustainable diplomatic solution to the conflict. Portugal has supported and continues to fully support this diplomatic path, as made clear in the contacts held over the past two days with the Foreign Ministers of Pakistan and Egypt.

Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes. Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days! @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi

I had a warm and substantive conversation with President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran, this afternoon. I conveyed my deep appreciation for the wisdom and sagacity of the Iranian leadership in accepting Pakistan’s offer to host peace talks in Islamabad later this week to work jointly for the return of peace to the region. President Pezeshkian reaffirmed Iran’s participation in the upcoming negotiations and expressed appreciation for Pakistan’s efforts, while conveying his best wishes for the people of Pakistan. Pakistan remains committed to working closely with all its friends and partners to advance peace and stability in the region and beyond. @drpezeshkian

As we proceed to *Islamabad Talks*, I wish to extend our deepest and sincere gratitude to our brotherly countries People’s Republic of China, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Republic of Türkiye, Arab Republic of Egypt and State of Qatar for extending invaluable and all out support towards reaching the ceasefire and giving peaceful diplomatic efforts a chance to seek a comprehensive and conclusive end to the conflict. I would also like to deeply appreciate and thank our brotherly countries of Gulf Cooperation Council, whose consistent support and commitment to peace and stability in the region remains quintessential for our efforts. The leadership of all our brotherly countries and United States of America demonstrated exceptional strategic foresight, sagacity and patience in giving peace a chance. I also thank all our partners and friends across the globe who have reached out and acknowledged Pakistan’s sincere efforts for the global peace. Let us all work together to forge a lasting peace in the region and beyond!

Messages of the President, Prime Minister, and Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on the Occasion of Pakistan Day, 23 March 2026.

Message of the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Pakistan Day, 23rd March, 2026. On this historic national occasion of Pakistan Day, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the entire nation. 23rd of March holds the status of a significant milestone in the history of South Asia. Eighty-six years ago, on this historic day, the Muslim leadership of the subcontinent united with unwavering resolve to lay the foundation of a separate homeland. Drawing inspiration from the vision of Allama Iqbal, Muslim leaders presented the concept of a State where Muslims could secure their constitutional and political rights and live with dignity, freedom, and honor. On 23 March 1940, the historic Lahore Resolution instilled such determination among Muslims that within a short span of seven years, on 14 August 1947, our forefathers succeeded in achieving a separate homeland: *Pakistan* under the visionary leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Undoubtedly, with the blessing of freedom, Pakistan stands as a testament to the wisdom, determination, perseverance, and sacrifices of our ancestors. Since its inception, our nation has demonstrated extraordinary resilience and determination in every trial. From a nascent state to becoming a nuclear power, our journey reflects steadfastness and iron resolve. This journey towards a bright future continues even today. To shape Pakistan in accordance with the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, we must move forward with steadfastness, tireless effort, and a collective national strategy. Despite numerous challenges, we have, by the grace of Almighty Allah, steered Pakistan’s economy towards sustainable growth. A consistent decline in inflation, increased investors' confidence, and positive economic indicators are the evidence that we are moving in the right direction. This progress is the result of bold reforms, prudent policies, and the people’s confidence in their abilities and in the bright future of our beloved country. Our armed forces and law enforcement agencies, with their high professionalism and patriotic spirit, are defending Pakistan’s freedom and sovereignty. Last year, during Operation Bunyan-al-Marsoos, Pakistan’s armed forces delivered a strong and decisive response to the enemy, writing a golden chapter of military history. By thwarting hostile designs, they proved that Pakistan’s defense is "impregnable" and our resolve "unshakable". This year, on the night of 26 February 2026, the unprovoked aggression by a Taliban insurgent group on our borders was met with a strong response through Operation Ghazab-lill- Haq. This operation is not merely a military action but a symbol of our national resolve against terrorism, and that is, we will not allow any harm to the peace and security of our country. Pakistan is a proponent of global peace; however, sustainable peace in South Asia is linked to the just resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir issue. We will continue to extend moral, political, and diplomatic support to our brothers and sisters in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir(IIOJK). Pakistan also expresses full solidarity with the people of Palestine and remains deeply concerned about the recent tensions in the Middle East. As a responsible member of the international community, Pakistan continues to pursue balanced and active diplomacy focused on regional stability, dialogue, and mutual respect. We firmly believe that negotiations are the path to lasting peace. 1/2
