Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Pakistan Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Malki on Thursday lauded Islamabad’s efforts to ensure peace in the region, as Iran continues its relentless attacks against Gulf states amid the Middle East war.
In a video message on Thursday, Malki said Iran’s actions constitute “unjustified aggression” against sovereign states that are not party to any conflict and represent a clear violation of international law and the principles of the UN Charter.
“In this context, we appreciate the responsible stance of the government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and we value its continued efforts and wisdom in containing the crisis and advancing toward a peaceful resolution,” Malki said.
He said Islamabad’s efforts reflect its commitment toward playing a “constructive role” in promoting peace and stability in the region.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia firmly believes that wisdom and international solidarity are the path out of crisis and that adherence to humanitarian principles is the safest way to preserve peace and security,” Malki said.
Malki noted that Iran’s attacks in the region have killed civilians, including nationals of various countries.
He said the attacks have targeted vital civilian infrastructure, including airports, hotels, and other facilities across Gulf nations, underscoring the severity of these violations.
