联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯周二赞扬了巴基斯坦在缓解西亚紧张局势方面的作用，包括其在美伊之间的斡旋工作，并敦促各方回归外交途径。古特雷斯在对巴基斯坦进行为期三天的正式访问期间，也谈及阿富汗、恐怖主义、维和工作和气候挑战。在与巴基斯坦总理兼外交大臣伊沙格·达尔举行的伊斯兰abad新闻发布会上，古特雷斯表示，巴基斯坦为全球争论带来了"不可或缺的视角"。
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday praised Pakistan's role in efforts to ease tensions in West Asia, including its mediation between the US and Iran, and urged all sides to return to diplomacy. Speaking during his three-day official visit to Pakistan, Guterres also spoke about Afghanistan, terrorism, peacekeeping and climate challenges. At a press conference with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar in Islamabad, Guterres said Pakistan brought an "essential perspective" to global debates.
达尔则欢迈联合国秘书长的访问，并表示，外交途径必须得到充分机会来应对地区和国际挑战。"我为巴基斯坦的领导人民所做的工作表示赞扬，正是他们帮助创造了美伊对话的条件并斡旋了这场冲突。您的努力促成了伊斯兰abad谅解备忘录、随后达成的停火协议以及未来谈判的框架。每一个巴基斯坦人都应为这一关键角色感到自豪,"古特雷斯说。
Dar, in turn, welcomed the UN chief's visit and said diplomacy must be given every opportunity to succeed in addressing regional and international challenges."I salute Pakistan's leadership for helping to create the conditions for dialogue between the US and Iran and mediating that conflict. Your efforts helped deliver the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, the subsequent ceasefire and the framework for future negotiations. Every Pakistani should be proud of that pivotal role," Guterres said.
6月份，美伊签署了旨在为西亚带来和平的谅解备忘录，巴基斯坦也作为"担保方"签署了该文件。但在7月初 renewed军事打击之后，谈判陷入僵局，双方互相指责违反协议，并就霍尔胡兹海峡(一处海上要道，平时世界约五分之一的能源供应通过)问题陷入僵持。
In June, the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at bringing peace in West Asia, with Pakistan alsog the document as a "guarantor". But the negotiations collapsed in early July after renewed military strikes, amid mutual accusations of violating the agreement and a deadlock over the Strait of Hormuz, a Gulf chokepoint through which about a fifth of the world's energy supplies pass in peacetime.
古特雷斯敦促各方回归谈判。"从伊斯兰abad，我想向所有各方发出响亮清晰的信息:结束冲突，回归外交途径，并根据国际法恢复导航权。直到巴基斯坦长期以来倡导的巴勒斯坦人民自决权被承认，该地区永远不会有和平,"他说。
Guterres urged all sides to return to talks. "And from Islamabad, I want to send a loud and clear message to all parties: end the conflict, return to diplomacy and restore navigational rights in accordance with international law. There will never be peace in the region until the right of self-determination of the Palestinian people is recognised, as Pakistan has long championed," he said.
联合国秘书长表示，巴基斯坦之所以重要，不仅因为其规模，还因为它为全球争论带来了"不可或缺的视角"。
The UN chief said Pakistan mattered not only because of its size, but because it brought an "essential perspective" to global debates.
谈及阿富汗难民问题时，他说道：“数十年来，巴基斯坦向数百万为躲避冲突与动荡而逃难的阿富汗人敞开了大门。全国各地的民众都毫无保留地与这些寻求庇护和安全的人分享自己的一切。”他还表示，联合国致力于确保阿富汗人的遣返工作以“自愿、安全且有尊严的方式”进行。
Referring to Afghan refugees, he said, "For decades, Pakistan opened its doors to millions of Afghans fleeing conflict and instability. Communities around this country shared whatever they had with people seeking protection and safety." He added that the UN was committed to ensuring that the Afghans' repatriation should proceed in a "voluntary, safe and dignified way".Guterres also praised Pakistan's contribution to UN peacekeeping.
古特雷斯还赞扬了巴基斯坦对联合国维和事业所作的贡献。他说：“巴基斯坦的男女军人曾在诸多最为艰难且危险的环境中英勇无畏地执行任务。180多名勇敢的巴基斯坦军人为和平事业献出了生命，我们向他们的牺牲致敬。”他还表示，稍后将访问联合国驻印度和巴基斯坦军事观察员小组，以此向该特派团及全世界的维和人员致敬。
"Pakistani women and men have served with courage and distinction in some of the most difficult and dangerous environments," he said. "More than 180 brave Pakistani souls gave their lives in the service of peace. We honour their sacrifice." He also said he would later visit the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan to pay tribute to the mission and to peacekeepers worldwide. He also referred to Pakistan's suffering due to terrorism.
古特雷斯还提到了巴基斯坦因恐怖主义所遭受的苦难。他说：“巴基斯坦承受了巨大的痛苦，成千上万人因此丧生，全国各地的家庭与社区至今仍深受其害。我们与巴基斯坦站在一起，共同应对恐怖主义这一威胁。”他还强调，解决恐怖主义问题以及应对合理的安全关切十分必要。此外，古特雷斯也谈到了气候危机以及2022年重创巴基斯坦的洪水灾害。
"Pakistan has endured immense suffering. Thousands of people lost their lives. Families and communities across the country continue to bear scars. We stand with Pakistan in confronting this threat of terrorism," he said, adding that addressing terrorism and legitimate security concerns was necessary. Guterres also spoke about the climate crisis and the floods of 2022 that devastated Pakistan. Dar described Guterres as a "great friend" of Pakistan and said the country valued the Secretary-General's "readiness" to extend his good offices in situations where dialogue and diplomacy could help reduce tensions and create space for peaceful solutions.
达尔称古特雷斯是巴基斯坦的“良友”，并表示巴基斯坦十分珍视秘书长愿意在对话与外交有助于缓解紧张局势、为和平解决方案创造空间的情况下出面斡旋的“诚意”。他说：“巴基斯坦认为，联合国必须始终处于国际社会应对各类挑战的核心位置，必须给予外交手段一切成功的机会。”
"Pakistan believes that the UN must remain at the centre of international efforts to address these challenges and that diplomacy must be given every opportunity to succeed," he said.
达尔还对联合国秘书长持续关注对巴基斯坦而言至关重要的诸多议题表示感谢，这些议题包括地区和平与稳定、反恐、气候脆弱性以及发展挑战等。
He also appreciated the UN chief's "continued attention" to issues of particular importance to Pakistan, including regional peace and stability, counter-terrorism, climate vulnerability and development challenges.
达尔进一步强调了巴基斯坦对阿富汗境土继续被用于对巴基斯坦发动恐怖袭击的“深切关切”，并敦促联合国秘书长和国际社会帮助解决这一问题。这次访问和记者会的核心聚焦于巴基斯坦的外交作用、地区和平、反恐斗争、对阿富汗人的支持以及与联合国的合作。
Dar further highlighted Pakistan's "deep concern" over the continued use of Afghan soil for carrying out terrorist attacks against Pakistan and urged the UN chief and the wider world to help address the issue. The visit and the press conference centred on Pakistan's diplomatic role, regional peace, the fight against terrorism, support for Afghans and cooperation with the UN.
