Earlier, Pakistan’s Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said that Islamabad remained hopeful a US-Iran agreement would be reached “sooner rather than later”, amid Pakistan-led diplomatic efforts to end the Middle East conflict through diplomacy and negotiations.
Speaking during the press briefing, spokesperson Andrabi said Pakistan would welcome any settlement reached between Washington and Tehran, regardless of where the agreement was finalised.
“If an agreement is reached in Pakistan, it would be an honour for us,” Andrabi remarked, while reiterating Islamabad’s support for dialogue and diplomacy to ensure lasting peace and stability in the region.
The Foreign Office spokesperson also said he could not say whether the draft of the agreement would be one page or longer.
On Wednesday, Axios, while citing official sources, reported that the US expects it is moving closer to a preliminary agreement with Iran to end the war.
