Pakistan has continued diplomatic efforts to secure a permanent end to the Middle East conflict through dialogue and diplomacy.
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.
The Islamabad Talks concluded without a final agreement; however, they paved the way for further negotiations between Washington and Tehran to permanently resolve the conflict.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump said that he expects an agreement with Iran to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be reached “over the next week”.
“Looking good, looking good,” Trump told ABC News in a phone interview. “There was a little glitch today, but I turned that one around very quickly, as you probably noticed earlier.”
Trump said the “glitch” stemmed from Iranian anger over Israel’s attacks on Lebanon.
Deputy PM Dar, in a phone call with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, on Monday stressed the importance of ensuring that the ceasefire between the US and Iran is “sustained”.
During his phone conversation with Araghchi, Pakistan’s Deputy PM Dar emphasised the need to preserve existing understandings to prevent further escalation, the Foreign Office said in a statement.
Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi appreciated Pakistan’s “constructive role in regional diplomacy” and requested Islamabad to continue its efforts to help facilitate de-escalation in the region and maintain the ceasefire.
