(Web Desk) - PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said peace talks involving US-Iran ongoing in Islamabad is a phenomenal breakthrough in efforts to end war.
He expressed these views during an interview with a foreign media. Bilawal said: “The fact that the talks are even happening is the biggest achievement thus far. It’s significant that the ceasefire is in effect and the bombing has stopped in Iran and across most of the Middle East, and the two major powers are now negotiating.
“We hope that this ceasefire is built upon towards a more lasting and permanent resolution to this conflict.”
Bilawal added that not only the people of Pakistan, but the people of the entire world were watching the talks with “cautious optimism”.
“We bore witness over the course of the last six weeks or so the devastation of war; not only in terms of the human cost … but the economic cost, which has reverberated around the world,” he said.
To a question, Bilawal said, “I would like to thank the leadership of Iran [and] the United States for agreeing to have this ceasefire and continue discussion, but then also the leadership, not only of Pakistan, but of China, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Egypt, Qatar and many other GCC countries.”
He noted that the war had affected the entire world, so “everybody has been making a joint and collective effort to try and create the necessary diplomatic space for this ceasefire to take place and for further discussions to now proceed.”
