Main points of Pankaj Saran’s statement on Pakistan’s mediation
On March 31, 2026, Pankaj Saran told that Pakistan is not alone in the role of peace that it is talking about. If he had been capable, he would not have needed support from countries like Egypt, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia. He has termed this situation as political theatre. According to Saran, in the coming years, there will be a big difference in the relevance of India and Pakistan at the international level and the importance of Pakistan will decrease.
What is Pakistan’s position between America and Iran?
Some important information has come to light regarding the role of various countries during this crisis:
America has clearly indicated that Pakistan’s role is only that of a messenger. Pakistan has been asked to stay away from any possible military action against Iran. Pakistan’s help or interference in any ground operations will not be accepted by the US or Israel. The role of other regional countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia is being given more importance than that of Pakistan in the peace process.
