The visiting ministers will also meet <strong>Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Foreign Office highlighted Pakistan\u2019s strong ties with the \u201cbrotherly countries\u201d of Saudi Arabia, T\u00fcrkiye, and Egypt, noting that the visit will enhance cooperation and coordination across various areas of mutual interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially planned to be held in T\u00fcrkiye, the talks were moved to Islamabad due to Pakistan\u2019s increasing role in the Iran-US dialogue. This has raised speculation that Islamabad may host direct negotiations between the two nations in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discussions are part of a four-country mechanism formed on March 19 during a gathering of ten Arab and Muslim states in Riyadh. While initially focused on defence cooperation, the current diplomatic track has evolved from that meeting, with Egypt opening channels with Iran\u2019s <strong>Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)<\/strong> and Pakistan emerging as a central mediator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Prime Minister Dar has actively led diplomatic efforts, holding separate phone calls with Egypt\u2019s FM <strong>Dr. Badr Abdelatty<\/strong> and T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s FM <strong>Hakan Fidan<\/strong>, emphasizing dialogue and collective measures for regional peace. He also spoke with <strong>UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres<\/strong>, who expressed full support for Pakistan\u2019s mediation role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China\u2019s Foreign Minister <strong>Wang Yi<\/strong> and Kuwait\u2019s Crown Prince <strong>Sheikh Sabah Al Khaled Al Hamad Al Sabah<\/strong> have also endorsed Pakistan\u2019s efforts, urging Tehran to join negotiations while the US faces pressure in the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistan is coordinating closely with Ankara and Cairo to facilitate indirect US-Iran talks, transmitting messages and proposals between the sides. A 15-point framework from the US has been shared with Iran and is under review, while T\u00fcrkiye and Egypt are supporting Pakistan\u2019s role. Iranian media reports indicate Tehran has outlined five conditions under which it might agree to end the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is set to host the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, T\u00fcrkiye, and Egypt from March 29\u201330 for detailed talks on regional issues, including steps to ease tensions amid&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2617,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[165,1423],"class_list":["post-2616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan","tag-middle-east-tensions","tag-war-against-iran"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
