Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Sunday night held a telephonic conversation with the Foreign Minister of Turkiye Hakan Fidan, discussing recent regional developments and reafirming their commitment to further strengthening cooperation on matters of mutual interest, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated.
According to a post on X, FM Dar and his Turkish counterpart “agreed that dialogue and diplomacy re-main the way forward to address regional challenges and promote peace and stability.”
The call came as Islamabad continues to engage with regional and international officials amid the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran, during which Islamabad has emerged as a key mediator.
Last week, FM Dar met US Chargé d’Affaires Natalie Baker, United Kingdom High Commissioner to Pa-kistan Jane Marriott, Ambassador of China Jiang Zaidong, and Pakistan’s Ambassador-designate to Sweden Ahmed Amjad Ali. During his meetings with the officials, the foreign minister exchanged views regarding recent regional developments.
He stressed that the implementation of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, in letter and spirit, was the only way forward, reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to regional peace and security.
