Pakistan on Tuesday expressed serious concern over the rising tensions in the region following recent attacks targeting the United States’ Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

In a statement issued by the Foreign Office, Islamabad strongly condemned what it described as violations of the core international principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.

“We strongly condemn the recent violations of the principle of respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries,” the spokesperson said.

The statement urged all parties involved to adhere to international law and show restraint to prevent further deterioration of the situation.

Pakistan called for dialogue and diplomacy as the only viable means to resolve conflicts, and emphasized the urgent need for steps aimed at de-escalation.
