Pakistan has informed the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) that it is intensifying diplomatic efforts to prevent a wider conflict in the Middle East amid rising regional tensions. Addressing the Security Council, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, warned that continued escalation could seriously threaten regional and international peace and security.
During the UNSC meeting, Pakistan strongly condemned the recent attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait, reaffirming its solidarity with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states. Ambassador Ahmad emphasized that Islamabad remains committed to promoting dialogue, confidence-building measures, and peaceful diplomacy to reduce tensions across the region.
Pakistan also stressed that any further military escalation would worsen the humanitarian situation and increase instability throughout the Middle East. The country’s diplomatic efforts have focused on encouraging negotiations between all concerned parties while supporting initiatives aimed at restoring peace and preventing further violence.
According to officials, Pakistani diplomats have continued engaging with regional and international stakeholders to facilitate dialogue. Recent discussions involving mediators in Doha have reportedly made progress on confidence-building measures designed to support ongoing negotiations related to regional security and stability.
The Security Council meeting was held amid renewed tensions following recent military developments involving Iran, the United States, and several Gulf countries. Pakistan reiterated that maintaining open channels of communication remains essential for preventing misunderstandings and achieving a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
Islamabad reaffirmed its longstanding commitment to regional peace, diplomatic engagement, and international cooperation. Pakistani officials stressed that sustainable peace can only be achieved through dialogue, mutual respect, and adherence to international law rather than continued military confrontation.
