Patriot Web Desk: Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif and Army Chief General Raheel Sharif took the initiative to mediate between Iran and Saudi Arabia as they are two Muslim countries and they were under no pressure to do, this was stated by Editor in Chief of Pakistan Group of Newspaper Sardar Khan Niazi while speaking in Roze News Program Sachi Baat.
Sardar Khan Niazi appreciated the efforts of both the Prime Minister and the Army Chief and said that he wishes that they are successful in their peace mission. He further said that initially Pakistan had decided to separate itself from the Middle East crisis and only committed to fully defend the territorial integrity of Saudi Arabia but decided to mediate between the two Muslim countries late on.
