He added that the United States President, Donald Trump, specifically praised Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir for their visionary leadership and decisive role in regional peace initiatives.

According to Tarar, the U.S. President commended Pakistan’s consistent support for global peace and its efforts to stabilize conflict-prone regions, which has significantly enhanced Pakistan’s international prestige. “It is a matter of pride for Pakistanis around the world that the country’s leadership has been recognized for its principled stance and constructive engagement,” he said.

The minister explained that the recognition is not only symbolic but also reflects Pakistan’s practical influence in shaping global discussions. He noted that Pakistan is emerging as an “important and effective player” in international affairs, thanks to a combination of diplomatic foresight, strategic partnerships, and proactive engagement with multilateral institutions. “This progress is a testament to a team effort, led by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, whose leadership has been instrumental in achieving these results,” Tarar said.

Minister Tarar also highlighted the Prime Minister’s advocacy for the Palestinian cause at international forums, including the United Nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). He praised PM Shahbaz Sharif for articulating Pakistan’s principled position on the rights of the Palestinian people and emphasizing the importance of establishing an independent Palestinian state in line with relevant UN Security Council resolutions. “The Prime Minister clearly stated that Palestinian lands belong to the Palestinians, and their right to self-determination must be upheld. This is critical for sustainable peace in the region,” Tarar remarked.

The minister further pointed out that the positive interactions during the Board of Peace meeting also fostered personal rapport between global leaders. He said that a constructive and cordial exchange took place between PM Shahbaz Sharif and U.S. President Donald Trump, with body language reflecting mutual respect, confidence, and goodwill. Tarar noted that these interactions strengthen bilateral ties and contribute to Pakistan’s growing influence in shaping global policy decisions.

On the domestic front, Minister Tarar addressed widespread media speculation regarding alleged “concessions” for the incarcerated founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). He firmly rejected such reports, stating, “There is no deal or leniency for the PTI founder. Any impression of special treatment is entirely false and misleading.” He clarified that the PTI founder is a convicted criminal, serving sentences as handed down by the courts, and emphasized that any news suggesting otherwise has no basis in fact.

“The government remains committed to the rule of law and ensuring that justice is upheld without favoritism,” Tarar said. He underscored that Pakistan’s leadership maintains a clear stance on accountability, asserting that no individual is above the law. “These reports are misleading attempts to misinform the public and distort reality,” he added.

The minister’s statements come amid increasing global attention on Pakistan’s proactive diplomacy, with international leaders recognizing the country’s contributions to regional stability, humanitarian issues, and global peacekeeping efforts. He noted that Pakistan’s approach reflects a balance of principled foreign policy and pragmatic engagement.

Tarar expressed pride in the fact that Pakistan’s leadership is now widely acknowledged for taking firm, principled positions on critical international matters. He highlighted the importance of teamwork between the civil government and military leadership in achieving such recognition. According to him, the collaboration between PM Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir has been key to elevating Pakistan’s global profile and securing constructive dialogue with major international stakeholders.

Speaking about the broader significance of these developments, Tarar said, “A time existed when Pakistan faced diplomatic isolation, but the current leadership has restored Pakistan’s voice and credibility on the world stage. Today, Pakistan plays a prominent role in international forums, and its contributions are respected globally.”

The minister concluded by emphasizing the central tenet of Pakistan’s success in diplomacy: commitment to honesty, national interest, and principled leadership. “When leadership is sincere and prioritizes the country’s interests above personal or political gains, positive results inevitably follow,” he said.

Overall, the combination of Pakistan’s rising international stature and the government’s firm domestic policy on law and order reflects a dual narrative: one of growing global recognition and another of uncompromising accountability at home. The twin achievements, according to Minister Tarar, signify a new era of confident, effective governance that positions Pakistan as a credible, influential, and responsible global actor.

The meeting at the Board of Peace and the accompanying interactions with global leaders are expected to have long-term positive ramifications for Pakistan’s foreign policy, trade relations, and diplomatic initiatives. At the same time, the government continues to signal its commitment to transparency and justice domestically, ensuring that all citizens observe the rule of law equally, regardless of political affiliation or status.

With these developments, Pakistan has projected itself as a nation that combines strong, principled leadership with a commitment to justice, welfare, and regional stability. Observers suggest that such recognition at the international level not only boosts Pakistan’s credibility but also strengthens its negotiating position in multilateral engagements and bilateral partnerships.

Minister Tarar’s reaffirmation regarding the PTI founder serves as a clear message that the government’s focus remains on law enforcement and national interest, dispelling rumors and reinforcing confidence in the judicial system. Meanwhile, the accolades at the Board of Peace highlight Pakistan’s increasing relevance in shaping global dialogue, peace processes, and humanitarian advocacy, reflecting a significant milestone in the country’s international diplomacy.

In summary, Pakistan’s leadership has successfully balanced domestic accountability with international engagement. The country’s growing influence on global platforms, coupled with a firm commitment to rule of law at home, positions it as a credible actor in both international and domestic arenas. As Minister Tarar stated, these developments are not the result of chance but of strategic, principled leadership, effective teamwork, and a focus on the national interest—principles that continue to shape Pakistan’s rising profile on the world stage.
