Pakistan's prime minister condemned missile and drone attacks on civilian infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates, expressing full solidarity with His Highness Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and with the Emirati people and government during this difficult time. The statement underscores Pakistan's enduring partnership with the UAE and the importance of protecting civilians in any conflict. It calls for the ceasefire to be upheld and respected to create diplomatic space for dialogue that can lead to enduring peace and regional stability. Framed within Pakistan's broader foreign policy, the message reinforces support for international law and a rules-based order, while stressing humanitarian considerations and the need to avoid escalation. In my view, the move signals responsible leadership in the region and reinforces the principle that violence against civilians must stop and that diplomacy should prevail. Its effectiveness, however, will hinge on concrete actions such as continued diplomatic engagement, support for humanitarian relief, and multilateral mediation efforts that address underlying tensions and grievances. A more robust approach would couple unequivocal condemnation with proactive diplomacy, calls for adherence to international humanitarian law, and offers to facilitate dialogue or humanitarian corridors in collaboration with other regional and global partners.
