Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Signals Intent for Peace Talks with India: ‘We Want to Resolve All Disputes’
- On May 26, 2025, in Tehran, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced his readiness to initiate negotiations with India to address and settle all outstanding disputes.
- This announcement came in the wake of increased hostilities between India and Pakistan following a deadly terror incident in Pahalgam on April 22, which resulted in 26 casualties, and subsequent military confrontations from May 7 to May 10 that ended with a ceasefire agreement.
- During a media briefing with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran, Sharif highlighted his openness to negotiations on Kashmir, water sharing, trade, and counter-terrorism, while also cautioning that Pakistan would defend itself if provoked.
- He asserted that Pakistan successfully prevailed in the recent four-day conflict and expressed his appreciation to Iran and Turkey for their support during the escalation, describing the meetings as highly productive and beneficial.
- The statements suggest Pakistan seeks diplomatic solutions through negotiations but maintains a firm defense posture if attacked, while continuing high-level diplomatic engagement on regional and bilateral issues.
