April 22 (Reuters) - Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday thanked U.S. President Donald Trump for accepting the country's request to extend the ceasefire in the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran to allow ongoing diplomatic efforts to take their course. "I sincerely hope that both sides will continue to observe the ceasefire and be able to conclude a comprehensive ‘Peace Deal’ during the second round of talks scheduled at Islamabad for a permanent end to the conflict," Sharif said in post on X.
