ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to PM on Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan on Thursday said Pakistan is the torchbearer of peace in the region and Prime Minister Imran Khan has clarified that Pakistan would never become part of any new war.
In a tweet, Awan said war is not in the interest of the region and the world, adding that peace in the Middle East would pave way for stability in the region and the entire world.
Pakistan would continue to play its role in the promotion of peace in the interest of the Islamic nation and the world, she remarked.
Dr Firdous said that PM Imran Khan’s directive to Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi to visit Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States and meet his counterparts is the manifestation of Pakistan being a responsible democracy and its pro-active diplomacy for promotion of peace and de-escalation of tensions in the region.
The reaction came after Prime Minister Imran said that he had asked Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa “to contact relevant military leaders to convey a clear message that Pakistan is ready to play its role for peace but it can never again be part of any war.”
