Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday praised the leadership and political direction of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, particularly in guiding the country through a complex and uncertain regional environment amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
The meeting came a day after the prime minister publicly offered Pakistan as a venue for US-Iran peace talks, an offer that received an extraordinary boost when President Donald Trump reposted it on his Truth Social platform, a move widely seen in Islamabad as Washington’s tacit endorsement of Pakistan’s emerging role as a mediator.
According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s office today, Prime Minister Shehbaz met Bilawal and his delegation, during which the prime minister underlined Pakistan’s active diplomatic effort for global peace.
Bilawal also expressed support for the government’s approach to addressing potential risks arising from the ongoing conflict scenario.

He stressed that safeguarding national interests while contributing to world peace remains a key priority of his government.
