\nAmbassador Dhital welcomed the recent de-escalation of tensions in the region, calling it \u201ca relief\u201d and noting the \u201cchallenging circumstances faced by Pakistan.\u201d
\nShe also praised the country\u2019s leadership in international climate advocacy and environmental protection efforts. During the meeting, Dr. Malik emphasized Pakistan\u2019s \u201clongstanding commitment to regional peace and stability,\u201d while highlighting the nation\u2019s experience as a victim of terrorism and aggression.
\nPakistan speaks from a position of clarity and dignity,\u201d Dr. Malik said. \u201cWhile it earnestly seeks peace, this desire must not be misconstrued as a sign of weakness.\u201d Referring to the recent tensions with India, the minister expressed regret over the loss of life on both sides and blamed the escalation on what he described as \u201cIndia\u2019s failed attempt to assert hegemonic dominance in the region.\u201d
\n\u201cWe are happy that peace has now been restored,\u201d he added. Both sides agreed that climate change is one of the most urgent global challenges and stressed the need for stronger regional cooperation to address its impacts.
