Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the participants would discuss the direction of negotiations and possible mechanisms to reduce hostilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The four countries have been engaged in mediation efforts since the conflict involving the United States and Israel began on February 28, amid growing concerns over threats to energy supplies and global trade routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistan has conveyed a US proposal for ending the conflict to Tehran and has offered to host talks, with Iranian officials indicating that negotiations could take place either in Pakistan or Turkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar on Sunday announced that Iran has agreed to facilitate additional Pakistani vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, describing the move&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2634,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[1956,635,165,1102,1440],"class_list":["post-2633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan","tag-iran-pakistan-relations","tag-ishaq-dar","tag-middle-east-tensions","tag-regional-diplomacy","tag-strait-of-hormuz"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
