May 06, 2025 (MLN): To discuss the prevailing security situation in South Asia, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres telephoned Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif.

This was the second telephone conversation between the two leaders within a week.

The Prime Minister appreciated the UN Secretary General’s continued engagement and outreach efforts and welcomed his call for de-escalation as well as the need to avoid any confrontation.

While reiterating his offer of an independent, transparent, neutral and credible investigation, the Prime Minister expressed his concern that India was yet to provide any evidence, nevertheless it continued to resort to provocative rhetoric and war mongering.

He reiterated Pakistan’s determination to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity, as per the press release.

The Prime Minister expressed his serious concern at Indian attempts to politicise international financial institutions in an attempt to harm Pakistan’s economic interests.

The Secretary General briefed the Prime Minister on his outreach efforts for peace and stability in the region, and expressed his commitment to remain engaged with all interlocutors on the issue.
