Dr. Hashim gave the commendation during a short visit to Dakar, Senegal, where he praised the diplomatic efforts of governments and international partners that contributed to the breakthrough.
“I welcome the agreement between the United States and Iran aimed at ending the conflict and restoring stability to the Middle East,” he said.
“I commend President Donald Trump, the Governments of Iran, Qatar and Pakistan, alongside other international partners whose efforts helped create the conditions for peace,” he added.
The Accord Party presidential candidate, who is also a global energy executive and recipient of the Lord Max Berlof Prize for Global Affairs (2009), said diplomacy remains the most effective tool for resolving complex international disputes.
He noted that the development reflects the importance of sustained engagement at a time of growing global uncertainty.
According to him, stability in the Middle East has wider global implications beyond the region.
“Stability in the Middle East is important not only for the region, but also for global security, energy markets, trade, and economic development,” he stated.
“The world’s economies are interconnected, and disruptions in one region often create consequences across continents.”
Dr. Hashim stressed that Nigeria and Africa have a strong stake in a peaceful international order, urging continued support for diplomacy and cooperation among nations.
“A peaceful international environment creates better opportunities for development. Nigeria and Africa must continue to support efforts that advance peace, cooperation, and stability among nations,” he added.
He expressed optimism that the agreement would help reduce tensions in the Middle East and strengthen global efforts toward peaceful coexistence, economic stability and shared prosperity.
