He began his address by speaking about the ongoing war in the Middle East, saying that the government was trying its best to cushion the effects of the skyrocketing prices of oil while also making efforts for the restoration of peace in the region through diplomacy.

“Pakistan is making sincere and full-fledged mediatory efforts on the diplomatic front for an end to this war,” he said.
