The handout described the walk as the first of its kind in the world, held to press for an end to the danger of war between the United States and Iran and for lasting global peace.

Muhammad Ramzan Mayo, president of the organisation and vice-president of Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians Punjab, said Pakistan had played a historic diplomatic role in reducing the danger of war and securing a ceasefire.

According to Mr Mayo, the president, the prime minister and the chief of army staff worked tirelessly for peace at a most delicate time.

Mr Mayo said the leadership had shown wisdom, patience and diplomatic insight in seeking to save the world from a destructive war. He added that the nation took pride in this peaceful and friendly role of its leadership.
