Pakistan has continued diplomatic efforts to facilitate dialogue between Tehran and Washington and to de-escalate the ongoing conflict through diplomacy and dialogue.
Pakistan brokered a ceasefire between Tehran and Washington on April 8 that halted the war involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
On April 11, Pakistan hosted high-stakes direct talks between the US and Iranian negotiators in Islamabad.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump reaffirmed his support for Pakistan’s role as a mediator between Iran and the US.
Speaking on Tuesday, Trump praised Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir for their role in helping secure a ceasefire in Iran that came into effect last month.
Trump said Islamabad had played a positive and constructive role in ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
The Islamabad Talks in April between the US and Iran concluded without a final agreement; however, they paved the way for further negotiations between Washington and Tehran to permanently resolve the conflict.
