UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif engaged in their second call this week to discuss rising tensions in South Asia, stressing the need for restraint and diplomatic solutions.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s office, the discussion focused on maintaining regional stability and preventing conflict.
Prime Minister Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan’s stance on preserving its sovereignty and territorial integrity. He commended Guterres’ efforts to promote de-escalation and reiterated Pakistan’s proposal for an independent and impartial investigation into recent events.
Secretary-General Guterres called on both Pakistan and India to practice maximum restraint and avoid actions that could lead to military confrontation. In remarks to the media, he cautioned that the current tensions between the two nations were at a critical juncture and posed a risk of escalation.
Guterres also condemned the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, extending condolences to the victims’ families and emphasizing the importance of bringing the perpetrators to justice through lawful and credible processes.
Highlighting the value of dialogue over conflict, Guterres reiterated the United Nations’ willingness to facilitate peace-building efforts and provide support to both sides in reducing tensions. “The path to peace lies in diplomacy,” he stated.
