Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim welcomed Pakistan’s offer to host a dialogue between the two countries. He described the initiative as “timely and constructive” at a time when tensions in the Middle East are very high.
In a statement and during a telephonic conversation with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Anwar Ibrahim said Pakistan is in a strong position to help because of its good relations with the concerned parties and its respected voice in the Muslim world. He praised Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for taking this important diplomatic step.
Malaysia fully supports the proposal and has encouraged both the US and Iran to respond positively and seriously to the offer. Anwar stressed that there is still some space for diplomacy, and it must be used with urgency to prevent further escalation of the conflict.
This support from Malaysia is seen as valuable international backing for Pakistan’s mediation role. Pakistan has been actively engaging with leaders from Gulf countries and Iran to create conditions for meaningful talks.
The development highlights Pakistan’s growing role in regional diplomacy. Many countries appreciate Islamabad’s balanced approach and efforts to reduce tensions that are affecting the entire region and global oil prices.
Experts believe such support from friendly nations like Malaysia can help build momentum for peaceful negotiations and prevent the conflict from spreading further.
