Expressed gratitude for Pakistan’s gracious hosting of the dialogue, emphasising that it reflects our deep and great bilateral relationship. Our commitment to promoting peace and stability in the region remains strong—and shared.”
According to sources, Pakistan conveyed a clear message that war is in no one’s interest. Field Marshal Asim Munir made strong efforts to bring Iran back to the negotiating table, while maintaining contact with the United States.
Field Marshal Asim Munir has been working tirelessly on this mission. Diplomatic sources say several nights passed without rest, as communication continued with both Washington and Tehran.
During the meeting with Abbas Araghchi, possible frameworks for negotiations were also discussed. Both sides agreed that dialogue remains the only way to reduce tensions.
