In a statement, the chamber\u2019s leadership, including its president Shakeel Ahmed Khan Saraf and other office-bearers, credited the development to the leadership of Chief of Army Staff Gen Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, terming their engagement as effective \u201cshuttle diplomacy\u201d. The chamber noted that Pakistan\u2019s role in defusing tensions had enhanced its global standing and paved the way for high-level talks scheduled to be held in Islamabad on April 10, reflecting coordinated efforts by the civil and military leadership. It further observed that the easing of tensions and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz were likely to stabilise global oil supplies, potentially leading to a reduction in petroleum prices. The statement said that lower fuel prices would help ease inflationary pressures and provide relief to the general public. It also expressed optimism that improved regional stability would boost business confidence, attract foreign investment and revitalise commercial activity and local industries.
