This reassurance comes in the wake of recent tensions stemming from India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty. Pakistan has threatened retaliatory measures, further escalating the situation. Accusations of Pakistani “nuclear blackmails,” which India has vowed to counter bilaterally, added fuel to the fire. However, Sharif’s statement aims to de-escalate the rhetoric and assure the international community that Pakistan seeks peace, not conflict.
