While congratulating the US and Iran for having reached the deal, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep appreciation to Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and other regional countries for the constructive role played in supporting the negotiations that led to the peace deal.
President of the European Council Antonio Costa, in a post on X, welcomed the agreement and commended the “tireless” diplomatic efforts of all those who made this deal possible.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said in a post on X: “A heartfelt thanks goes to all the mediators, and in particular to Qatar and Pakistan, who have made this agreement possible. This is an opportunity for peace that must be seized.”
Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, during a telephonic conversation with his Pakistani counterpart Ishaq Dar, conveyed Tokyo’s “deep” appreciation and commendation for Islamabad’s “sustained” mediatory role and constructive efforts throughout the peace process.
Dutch Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen also thanked Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye for their role as mediators in the agreement between the US and Iran, saying that it is a “hopeful step toward stability in the region, including Lebanon.”
While commending Pakistan and Qatar’s efforts in reaching the agreement, Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement on X, said that Pakistan, Qatar and other “brotherly and friendly countries” contributed to “bridging viewpoints and creating the conditions” for reaching the “important understanding.”
Pakistan has been mediating between the two sides since securing a ceasefire on April 8, weeks after the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28.
Islamabad in April hosted the highest-level talks between the US and Iran since the two severed diplomatic ties in 1979, represented by US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian parliament’s speaker Bagher Qalibaf.
