Earlier, Ishaq Dar reiterated that Pakistan is facilitating Iran-US talks for achieving peace and stability in the region and beyond, adding that Islamabad will continue with its efforts in this regard.
He said this while chairing a meeting to review the latest developments in the region, a Foreign Office statement said on Saturday.
He also underlined that Pakistan’s official policy statements on the Iran-US facilitation process are only those issued by official sources.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Islamabad on late Friday for high-level talks, as the United States said its envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were also heading to Pakistan, raising hopes for fresh talks on ending the US-Israeli war on Iran despite Tehran ruling out direct negotiations with Washington.
