According to a report by Middle East Eye, Sharif views the emerging agreement as a constructive development that could help ease tensions in the region.
The report said the deal may include measures to restore normal commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, along with possible easing of certain US military restrictions in the region.
Speaking to international media, Sharif said he expects the understanding between Washington and Tehran to be implemented soon. He also announced that a special ceremony is scheduled to take place in Switzerland on June 19 to mark the development.
The report further noted that Pakistan, with support from Qatar, is preparing for the event, which is expected to pave the way for the next phase of technical-level discussions.
The Pakistani prime minister said successful implementation of the agreement could promote cooperation and peace across the region, while also contributing positively to global economic stability and regional security.
