The two leaders discussed recent regional developments and agreed to stay in close contact on issues of mutual interest, reinforcing their commitment to ongoing dialogue and cooperation.
The war between the United States, Israel, and Iran, now in its second month, began on February 28 and has plunged the Middle East into deep turmoil.
Pakistan has intensified its diplomatic efforts to help bring an end to the US-Israel war involving Iran.
As part of this push, Islamabad hosted key regional ministers from Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Egypt, while also facilitating the exchange of messages between Washington and Tehran.
On Tuesday, Pakistan and China jointly called on the United States, Israel, and Iran to halt ongoing strikes and begin “peace talks as soon as possible.”
The appeal followed a high-level meeting in Beijing between Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
