Islamabad : April 14,2024: The Foreign Office here on Sunday said Pakistan is watching with deep concern the ongoing developments in the Middle East.
In a statement , Foreign Office said for months, Pakistan has underlined the necessity of international efforts to prevent expansion of hostilities in the region and for a ceasefire in Gaza.
On 2 April 2024, Pakistan had pointed to the dangers of the attack on Iranian consular office in Syria as a major escalation in an already volatile region.
Today’s developments demonstrate the consequences of the breakdown of diplomacy. These also underline the grave implications in cases where the UN Security Council is unable to fulfill its responsibilities of maintaining international peace and security.
It is now critically urgent to stabilize the situation and restore peace. We call on all parties to exercise utmost restraint and move towards de-escalation, it concluded.
