Trump urged Zelensky to travel to Moscow for talks with Putin, despite Ukraine’s previous refusals.

Zelensky rejected the proposal during their UN meeting, and people familiar with his position said he was upset that Trump raised it.

Albania’s PM Edi Rama:

I'm sure you must have followed — the so-called Flamingo Revolution.

A fabricated narrative of an Israeli invasion of the Albanian coast, an invasion that never occurred, was manufactured, personalized, and delivered through voices, pages, and channels citizens already trusted.

Citizens had their own reasons to protest — don't take me wrong — but suddenly they started to protest also against a phantom enemy.

Antisemitic tropes entered our public discourse for the first time ever.

Albania’s PM Edi Rama:

Don't forget, Albania is the only country in Europe that ended World War II with more Jews than it started it.

Germany is considering mandatory gas storage filling rules for next year after struggling to rebuild reserves this summer.

The plan could require utilities, power operators or traders to meet minimum storage levels before winter.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

At this critical moment, Pakistan chose to act swiftly.

Through concerted efforts, Pakistan successfully brought Washington and Tehran under one roof in Islamabad.

From the Islamabad talks to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, many historic steps were taken to bring an end to this serious conflict.

Here, I deeply appreciate Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of the Army Staff, whose relentless efforts helped create space for diplomacy under exceptionally difficult and challenging circumstances.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

The Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb are arteries of the global economy.

They must remain open, connecting nations, not becoming chokepoints of confrontation.

These waters must carry the promise of prosperity, not the perils of war.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on Saudi Arabia:

We once again condemn in the strongest possible terms the recent deplorable attacks by the Houthis against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The attempted drone attack on the holy city of Makkah al-Mukarramah has outraged Muslims across the globe.

Any threat to the safety and sanctity of the Haramain Sharifain is our red line that must never be crossed.

No Muslim can even dare to think of committing such a heinous crime.

Pakistan stands in complete solidarity with the brotherly people of Saudi Arabia, as we always have throughout our history.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

Our enduring commitment to peace is also reflected by the historic Makkah Joint Defence Agreement among the brotherly countries — Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan.

This alliance is not directed against any country.

It is a collective commitment for defence, stability, and peace in the region, and nothing more.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on India:

A year ago, Pakistan faced external aggression from India under a false pretext.

Pakistan exercised its inherent right of self-defence under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.

Our brave and valiant armed forces, under the courageous leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir, responded with precision and professionalism.

They silenced the enemy, repulsed its attack, and taught it a lesson it shall never, ever forget.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on Trump:

Thanks to President Donald Trump's resolute and visionary leadership, hundreds of millions of lives in South Asia were saved.

His timely intervention came at a decisive juncture when two nuclear-armed neighbors stood at the brink of an all-out war.

And who knows the extent of devastation that could have taken place had President Trump not stepped in at this critical moment with clarity of thought and action.

We must therefore ensure that South Asia never reaches that precipice ever again.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on Kashmir:

For eight decades, the Kashmiri people have waited for the United Nations to fulfill its solemn commitment of a free and impartial plebiscite under its auspices.

Generations have endured illegal occupation, arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearance, sexual violence, and collective punishment.

More recently, there have been attempts to alter the legal status of Jammu and Kashmir through demographic re-engineering and other illegal measures.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on Kashmir:

From this podium, I assure my Kashmiri brothers and sisters, with the fullest authority at my command, that we shall continue to extend our full diplomatic, political, and moral support to them until they are granted their right to self-determination.

Kashmir has and always will be Pakistan's jugular vein.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

We have fought terrorists in our own cities, in our own mountains, and lost almost a hundred thousand precious lives and suffered economic losses exceeding 150 billion dollars.

The world is safer today — and let me say this in all humility — the world is safer today thanks to the valuable sacrifices of our valiant armed forces and brave civilians, who took on these terrorists and mercenaries.

BIG: Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

The shared waters of the Indus River system are the lifeblood not only for the people of Pakistan but for the entire region.

Any attempt to stop, impede, or divert Pakistan's share of the waters will be treated as an act of war.

India must make no mistake about it.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

Pakistan has made its choice. We have chosen dialogue over confrontation.

We have chosen cooperation over coercion.

We have chosen peace over war.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

The alarming rise in Islamophobia is deeply worrying, as Muslims face hate speech, discrimination, attacks on mosques, and desecration of the Holy Quran.

Just across our border, RSS-driven ideology is fanning religious hatred, leading to lynching, communal violence, attacks on places of worship, and restrictions upon religious freedom.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

Foreign-funded groups operate from sanctuaries inside Afghanistan with the aim of destabilizing Pakistan.

All such attacks, including incursions from the territory of Afghanistan, must come to a grinding halt.

And take verifiable, decisive action to ensure that Afghan soil is never again used against Pakistan or any other country.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif on Afghanistan:

The fundamental rights of the Afghan people, especially women and girls, must be respected under all circumstances.

Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif:

Pakistan contributes less than 1% of global emissions, yet repeatedly bears the horrific consequences of climate change.

Developed countries must therefore honor their climate finance commitments without delay, fund loss and damage speedily, and ensure support for adaptation and resilience.
