Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) that Pakistan sought peace in the region after it delivered a “bloody nose” to India in the May conflict. “We have won the war, and now we seek to win peace in our part of the world, and this is my most sincere and serious offer before this assembly of the world nations,” the prime minister said at the August forum in New York. “Last year, from this very podium, I had warned that Pakistan would act, and act most decisively, against any external aggression. Those words of mine proved true. I hoped they would not. But then, that is destiny,” the prime minister stressed.
