Pakistan’s prime minister met Friday with envoys from Gulf allies, seeking to defuse tensions with India following last week’s deadly attack on tourists in Kashmir, his office said.
In separate meetings with the Saudi, Kuwait and UAE ambassadors, Shehbaz Sharif briefed them on Islamabad’s stance regarding the April 22 attack in Kashmir, where 26 people, mostly Hindus, were killed.
Sharif’s office stated Friday that he had urged “brotherly countries, including Saudi Arabia, to press India for de-escalation and the defusal of tensions,” reiterating Pakistan’s commitment to peace and stability in South Asia.
Sharif told UAE’s ambassador Hamad Obaid Ibrahim Salem Al-Zaabi that Pakistan had no involvement in the attack on tourists and said he offered to join a credible, transparent and neutral international investigation, according to Sharif’s office.
