Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on India:

A year ago, Pakistan faced external aggression from India under a false pretext.

Pakistan exercised its inherent right of self-defence under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

Our brave and valiant armed forces, under the courageous leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir, responded with precision and professionalism.

They silenced the enemy, repulsed its attack, and taught it a lesson it shall never, ever forget.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on Trump:

Thanks to President Donald Trump's resolute and visionary leadership, hundreds of millions of lives in South Asia were saved.

His timely intervention came at a decisive juncture when two nuclear-armed neighbors stood at the brink of an all-out war.

And who knows the extent of devastation that could have taken place had President Trump not stepped in at this critical moment with clarity of thought and action.

We must therefore ensure that South Asia never reaches that precipice ever again.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on Kashmir:

For eight decades, the Kashmiri people have waited for the United Nations to fulfill its solemn commitment of a free and impartial plebiscite under its auspices.

Generations have endured illegal occupation, arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearance, sexual violence, and collective punishment.

More recently, there have been attempts to alter the legal status of Jammu and Kashmir through demographic re-engineering and other illegal measures.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on Kashmir:

From this podium, I assure my Kashmiri brothers and sisters, with the fullest authority at my command, that we shall continue to extend our full diplomatic, political, and moral support to them until they are granted their right to self-determination.

Kashmir has and always will be Pakistan's jugular vein.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

We have fought terrorists in our own cities, in our own mountains, and lost almost a hundred thousand precious lives and suffered economic losses exceeding 150 billion dollars.

The world is safer today — and let me say this in all humility — the world is safer today thanks to the valuable sacrifices of our valiant armed forces and brave civilians, who took on these terrorists and mercenaries.

BIG: Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

The shared waters of the Indus River system are the lifeblood not only for the people of Pakistan but for the entire region.

Any attempt to stop, impede, or divert Pakistan's share of the waters will be treated as an act of war.

India must make no mistake about it.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

Pakistan has made its choice. We have chosen dialogue over confrontation.

We have chosen cooperation over coercion.

We have chosen peace over war.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

The alarming rise in Islamophobia is deeply worrying, as Muslims face hate speech, discrimination, attacks on mosques, and desecration of the Holy Quran.

Just across our border, RSS-driven ideology is fanning religious hatred, leading to lynching, communal violence, attacks on places of worship, and restrictions upon religious freedom.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

Foreign-funded groups operate from sanctuaries inside Afghanistan with the aim of destabilizing Pakistan.

All such attacks, including incursions from the territory of Afghanistan, must come to a grinding halt.

And take verifiable, decisive action to ensure that Afghan soil is never again used against Pakistan or any other country.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on Afghanistan:

The fundamental rights of the Afghan people, especially women and girls, must be respected under all circumstances.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

Pakistan contributes less than 1% of global emissions, yet repeatedly bears the horrific consequences of climate change.

Developed countries must therefore honor their climate finance commitments without delay, fund loss and damage speedily, and ensure support for adaptation and resilience.

Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei:

Rutte’s remarks about the use of U.S. facilities in Europe for the U.S.-Israeli military operation against Iran are a clear admission that Europe knowingly participated in the war, despite repeatedly denying it.

The EU, its member states and NATO members must be held accountable for their political, military, logistical and other support for the U.S.-Israeli aggression against Iran.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis:

Greece right now is in a position to actually lead in Europe in shaping critical policies that will affect our common future.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis:

Over the past seven years we have significantly strengthened our armed forces. This has been the biggest renovation program that any Greek government has ever embarked on.

We need credible deterrent capability, and this is exactly what we are building and what we will continue to build over the next years.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis:

Greece is a country that is geopolitically punching above its weight and is shaping new alliances with the United States in areas which are absolutely critical.

Putin on Ukraine:

They began striking civilian facilities such as the warehouses of Wildberries or Ozon. What is this? Why was this done? Nevertheless, it was done.

After that, we began responding to each of these actions.

David Perdue, U.S. Ambassador to China:

We haven’t changed our position on Taiwan and don’t support independence, but don’t support coercion either.

David Perdue, U.S. Ambassador to China:

Our position is we want peace in the Strait. We want a peaceful resolution between the people of Taiwan and the people of China.

Putin mocked Estonia’s defense minister over comments about a possible war with Russia, saying:

“The circus has left, but the clowns remain.”

Putin called the remarks “complete nonsense” and “absolute rubbish,” adding that Estonia’s entire population is smaller than the Russian army.

Putin on Ukraine:

They started everywhere. Is this some kind of toy? Some kind of children’s game?

Therefore, they need to feel these retaliatory strikes from Russia and understand that no provocative actions, no escalation of the situation will lead to the result they want. They only make their situation worse.
