Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Monday that Pakistan will host the official signing ceremony for the deal between the United States and Iran on Friday in Geneva, Switzerland.

Speaking at a session of the lower house of the Pakistani parliament, Sharif noted that at several points it appeared the peace process could be derailed, but sustained diplomatic efforts helped keep it on track. He added that Pakistan's leadership remained engaged throughout the process and continued to advocate restraint, dialogue and peaceful resolution.

The prime minister congratulated the leadership of Iran and the US for showing restraint, wisdom and commitment to peace during a difficult period.

He said the development reflects the importance of dialogue and collective diplomatic engagement in resolving complex international disputes.
