Ishaq Dar reaffirmed Pakistan’s sustained commitment to promote dialogue and engagement in this regard.
The Deputy PM also commended the recent successful convening of the EU-Pakistan Business Forum in Islamabad, underscoring its role in strengthening partnerships and unlocking new opportunities for businesses.
Both sides agreed to remain in close contact.
Earlier on Wednesday, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Islamabad continues to pursue diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Chairing a federal cabinet meeting in Islamabad, the prime minister recalled the first round of US-Iran talks hosted in the Pakistani capital on April 11–12.
“Unprecedented number of diplomatic efforts were made,” PM Sharif said, adding that the initiative contributed to a ceasefire extension announced on April 21 by Trump.
Pakistan has positioned itself as a key mediator since the war started, facilitating dialogue despite the initial round of talks ending without an agreement.
