Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Tuesday expressed hope that Pakistan’s efforts to mediate an end to the US-Iran conflict will succeed at the earliest, calling it a necessity for the region and the wider world.
“Whatever has happened so far, it has already dented a global GDP to a great degree,” he told foreign ambassadors and diplomatic corps in Islamabad, saying the end to the conflict in the Middle East was Pakistan’s “goal and aim” as facilitator and mediator. DPM Dar said that Islamabad was actively working to engage the US and Iran to negotiate a peaceful settlement to their disputes, adding that the country has consistently supported stability and restraint in the Middle East.
DPM Dar noted Islamabad’s global diplomatic outreach for a resolution to the conflict, saying he has discussed the matter with around 120 counterparts worldwide since the start of the war.
