Islamabad (TDI): Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, received U.K. High Commissioner Jane Marriott at the Prime Minister House.
The Prime Minister expressed resolve that Pakistan would never take any action that could imperil regional peace and security, while stressing the importance his Government attaches to economic stability and peace.
He shared Pakistan’s perspective on the prevailing situation in South Asia with HC Marriott, in the aftermath of the Pahalgam incident. While rejecting India’s attempts to link Pakistan to the incident without providing any evidence, PM Shehbaz reiterated his offer for a transparent, credible and neutral international investigation into the incident and invited the UK to join it.
He also noted that with the support of friendly countries, including the UK, his Government’s foremost priority is advancing economic growth and development in the country.
The Prime Minister urged the UK, which enjoys good relations with both Pakistan and India, to play its part in de-escalating the situation. The British High Commissioner thanked the PM Shehbaz for sharing Pakistan’s position and said that the United Kingdom would work closely with Pakistan and India for maintaining regional peace and security.
