Pakistan told the United Nations Security Council that lasting peace in the Middle East cannot rely solely on normalization agreements and must instead address deeper political and historical challenges.
Speaking during a UNSC debate on advancing political solutions in the Middle East, Pakistan’s UN envoy Asim Iftikhar Ahmad emphasized that durable peace requires balanced diplomacy and meaningful political engagement.
The remarks came weeks after US President Donald Trump suggested that Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Türkiye and other countries consider joining an expanded Abraham Accords framework while discussions continued around ending tensions involving Iran.
However, Pakistan rejected the proposal and reiterated that it would not join arrangements that conflict with its national principles. Meanwhile, other countries mentioned in the proposal did not publicly endorse the idea.
Addressing the Security Council, Ahmad said the Middle East remains one of the world’s most complex political regions where history, identity, culture and religion intersect.
