“We hope that the two sides continue with the positive spirit to achieve durable peace and prosperity for the entire region and beyond,” he said.
Highlighting the importance of maintaining stability, Dar underscored that adherence to the ceasefire remains critical.
“It is imperative that the parties continue to uphold their commitment to the ceasefire,” he added.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s diplomatic role, the foreign minister said Islamabad would remain actively engaged in supporting future negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

He noted that the negotiations, led by US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, involved “intense and constructive” engagement, with Pakistan playing a key mediating role.
