ISLAMABAD: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Saturday held a telephone conversation with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said.
According to the Foreign Office, the two leaders discussed the evolving regional situation and exchanged views on its broader economic implications in their call, which was also shared in a post on X.
The ministry added that Ishaq Dar underscored Pakistan’s continued efforts to promote constructive engagement and diplomacy, emphasising support for peace and stability in the region and beyond.
On the other hand, the Kuwaiti foreign minister commended Pakistan’s sincere efforts aimed at fostering lasting peace and security for the Muslim world, as well as the wider international community.
Both sides reaffirmed the strong fraternal ties between Pakistan and Kuwait and agreed to remain in close contact moving forward, according to MOFA.
In an earlier conversation with FM Dar, Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah had also praised Pakistan for its role in facilitating US-Iran peace negotiations.
Dar has recently received international recognition for his diplomatic engagement as Pakistan has positioned itself amid high-level mediation efforts during ongoing regional tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
Earlier in April, Pakistan hosted the “Islamabad Talks,” which concluded without a breakthrough but continued to highlight its diplomatic outreach across multiple channels.
On April 27, Dar held separate telephone conversations with the foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Egypt, where discussions focused on regional developments and the importance of diplomacy for peace.
Three days later, European Union Vice President Kaja Kallas also spoke with Dar and appreciated Pakistan’s constructive role in promoting regional stability.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam also expressed appreciation on April 28 for Dar’s facilitation of talks between the United States and Iran.
Over the past several weeks, officials and influential figures from more than ten countries — including Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United States, China, Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, and Uzbekistan — have publicly acknowledged Dar’s role in supporting ceasefire and diplomatic engagement efforts.
