Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has voiced strong support for Qatar and Saudi Arabia following Iran’s missile strike on a U.S. airbase in Qatar. The gesture comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East and a declared ceasefire by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met Qatar’s ambassador in Islamabad to express solidarity with the Qatari leadership and people after Iran's retaliatory missile attack on the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base. The strike marked a sharp escalation after U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

Sharif emphasized Pakistan’s commitment to peace, saying the country supports dialogue and diplomacy as the only path to lasting regional stability.

He also held talks with  Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Pakistan Nawaf bin Saeed Al Malkiy, reaffirming Pakistan’s unwavering support for Saudi Arabia. Sharif extended prayers for King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, pledging continued cooperation with Riyadh for regional peace.

The meetings followed U.S. President Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
