Its support is vital for Pakistan\u2019s security as well as maintaining a balance of power in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving to why he believes India will not initiate another attack, the prime minister said that the first pillar rests on international support and transparency. PM Shehbaz believes Pakistan\u2019s commitment to the international investigation of the Pahalgam attack has garnered global backing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have consistently offered even to the Americans to participate in an international investigation to probe India\u2019s allegations\u201d, he said, adding that this transparent approach had won international confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second factor is what the Pakistani leadership calls \u2018the Trump factor\u2019, expressing particular optimism about US President Trump\u2019s role as a peace facilitator in the recent conflict. \u201cTrump has proudly claimed credit for playing a decisive role in achieving the ceasefire, and this he sees as a big victory for himself\u201d, the PM said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile there is not much progress on Ukraine and Gaza, the Pakistan-India crisis was much easier to de-escalate through diplomacy. President Trump grabbed this opportunity to be known as a peacemaker, and we\u2019re confident he won\u2019t let this great achievement [go to waste]. Trump is fundamentally a man of peace, not war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third pillar involves economic realities, with Pakistani officials pointing to India\u2019s economic vulnerabilities, noting: \u201cGiven the economic progress India claims to have made, war would be a complete disaster for them. The destruction would be India\u2019s to bear; we\u2019re already in a struggling phase, so we\u2019re prepared for any scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pakistani leadership expressed readiness for talks at neutral venues on four critical areas: Kashmir resolution, discussion on the Indus Waters Treaty, trade normalisation and counterterrorism cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf Modi stops his warmongering, we\u2019re prepared for serious counterterrorism discussions\u201d, PM Shehbaz stated. He also speculated about Modi\u2019s mental health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The country\u2019s leadership proudly highlighted recent domestic achievements, particularly emphasising their spotless governance record. \u201cIn our one year and three months in government, there hasn\u2019t been a single case or even allegation of corruption\u201d, PM Shehbaz declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the International Monetary Fund\u2019s satisfaction with Pakistan\u2019s progress serves as external validation of these domestic successes, with the IMF expressing willingness to fund Pakistan\u2019s revenue enhancement enforcement efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pakistani leadership also spoke enthusiastically about their recent diplomatic successes, particularly highlighting the warm reception received during recent visits to Turkey, Iran and Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a move reflecting political maturity and long-term thinking, the leadership revealed their proactive outreach to opposition parties. \u201cThis is a time when public sentiments are aligned, allowing us to initiate long-term plans supporting our broader economic agenda\u201d, the PM explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday cited three key reasons why he believes India is unlikely to launch another attack on Pakistan,&nbsp;The News&nbsp;reported.
