The Deputy Prime Minister reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to enhancing economic engagement and promoting regional peace and stability.
He added that the welfare of the Pakistani diaspora in Gulf countries and across the world remains a top priority of the Government.
Ishaq Dar also highlighted Pakistan’s constructive and facilitative role in promoting regional peace and stability, and stressed the importance of sustained engagement.
The Pakistani top diplomat directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Heads of Missions, and relevant ministries to maintain close coordination, pursue proactive engagement, and ensure effective follow-up on the recommendations.
It is pertinent to mention that 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 and 12, Pakistan hosted high-stakes direct talks between the US and Iranian negotiators in Islamabad.
The Islamabad Talks 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.
