Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated on Thursday that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) remains fully acceptable to Tehran and that both parties are prepared to advance the agreement. The discussion took place during the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
The MoU, signed in June between the US and Iran, established a 14-point interim framework to end the ongoing conflict, with Pakistan acting as a mediator. However, the situation has persisted with intermittent strikes and a US naval blockade of Iranian ports, while Iran maintains control over the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab, vital waterways for global oil supply.
In his meeting with Pezeshkian, Shehbaz emphasized the importance of implementing the MoU, the need for restraint and diplomatic engagement to achieve lasting peace, and the significance of bilateral ties between Pakistan and Iran. Both leaders reaffirmed the enduring strength of their relationship, rooted in shared history, culture, and faith.
