United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has welcomed the United States' announcement on the ceasefire extension with Iran, hailing it as an important step toward de-escalation and creating critical space for diplomacy and confidence-building between the two nations.
He is also encouraged all parties to refrain from actions that could undermine the ceasefire and to support negotiations toward sustainable resolution.
Guterres affirmed his full support for Pakistan's efforts in facilitating further talks and expressed hope for a comprehensive resolution to the conflict.
