The gesture was widely observed as a sign of recognition, highlighting Pakistan’s prominent presence at the international forum.
Earlier, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, along with other world leaders, signed the ‘Board of Peace‘ charter headed by United States President Donald Trump.
On this occasion, the heads of several countries, including PM Sharif, signed the agreement and expressed their commitment to cooperate in establishing peace.
The body was initially envisioned as a mechanism to address Israel’s war on Gaza, though its charter does not restrict its mandate solely to the occupied Palestinian territory.
Sharif praised the US President’s efforts and said that the lives of one or two crore people have been saved due to this intervention. He termed the steps taken by the world leadership for peace as an important step towards saving human lives and reducing tensions in the region.
