Caretaker Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani engaged in a crucial diplomatic conversation with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, on Friday, marking a significant turning point in the recent escalation of tensions between Pakistan and Iran.
According to a statement issued by the foreign office, Jilani expressed Pakistan’s commitment to fostering collaboration with Iran, emphasising the importance of mutual trust and cooperation, particularly in the realm of security.
He expressed Pakistan’s desire to work with Iran “based on the spirit of mutual trust and cooperation” as the two countries agreed to “de-escalate the situation” and strengthen coordination on counter-terrorism. It may be mentioned here that key regional players have played a pivotal role in defusing the elections delayed, which Solangi assured will be held on Feb 8.
When asked about the security requirements needed to hold the elections, the information minister said that the government will provide the required security to the ECP for the holding of elections in a peaceful manner.
