Monitoring Desk: “Credit should be given to the honorable mediation role played by the trio of Pakistani leaders: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Field Marshal and 1st Chief of Defense Forces Asim Munir, and foreign policy head Ishaq Dar. It was owing to their coordinated efforts that direct negotiations between the delegations of the two countries took place on April 11 in Islamabad”.
This was observed by senior journalist Anvar Azimov, in his article titled “Pakistan Diplomacy: Key to Dialogue Despite Flop” published New Eastern Outlook (NEO).
The author had the opportunity to personally witness the seriousness and thoughtfulness of the Pakistani leadership’s approach to ensuring peace and stability in the region. At the end of March 2026, while in Islamabad at an event dedicated to the bilateral relations of the USSR and Russia with Pakistan, organized by the Russian embassy, I saw how responsibly this major South Asian country, which possesses nuclear capabilities, approaches issues of regional security.
