Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to arrive in Islamabad tonight along with a small delegation, according to Pakistan government sources.
Following key discussions with Pakistan’s mediation team, a second round of peace talks between the United States and Iran is likely to be held in Islamabad, sources said.
The US logistical and security team is already present in Islamabad to facilitate the negotiation process, sources added.
Ishaq Dar on Friday also held a phone conversation with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and discussed regional developments and the Iran-US ceasefire.
Pakistan took centre stage when it brokered a 14-day ceasefire between the US and Iran, followed by high-stakes talks in Islamabad attended by senior delegations from the two countries earlier this month.
The high-stakes talks concluded without a final agreement; however, it paved the way for further negotiations and diplomacy to resolve the US-Iran conflict.
The Pakistan-brokered ceasefire remained intact, with confidence-building measures being pursued to secure a permanent truce.
