China and Pakistan call for immediate end to Middle East war with multi-point plan
- China and Pakistan are urging for an immediate end to the war in the Middle East with a multi-point plan.
- Islamabad positions itself as a key player in the conflict negotiations.
- Colonel Peer de Jong provides analysis of the situation on LCI.
Pakistan enters the fray? The country now acts as a mediator in the Middle East war, one month after the conflict began. Pakistan is seen as having a crucial role due to its ability to engage with Iran and the United States.
On LCI, Colonel Peer de Jong discusses the ties between Islamabad and Washington. “General Munir, the head of Pakistan, received training in the United States. As a result, he is very close to Donald Trump,” the specialist explains. Pakistan and China issued a joint call on Tuesday, March 31, to end the conflict, presenting a multi-point plan including a ceasefire and resumption of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Colonel Peer de Jong, Pakistan could assist the United States. “This is a fallback and exit strategy for the Americans. We see that they announce that the tempo of five to six weeks set by Trump at the beginning of the war will be met. We are now at four weeks, two weeks remain,” notes the LCI consultant.
