He warned that prolonged conflict could threaten the international order and disrupt peace worldwide. The Pakistani official stressed the need for a comprehensive and lasting resolution to ensure stability in the region.
In his address, Dar also emphasized Pakistan's commitment to working closely with China towards achieving peace in the Middle East.
