Amid the ongoing escalating situation between US-Iran, Pakistan has emerged as a key mediator to resolve the conflict, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar recently discussed his country’s “ongoing efforts to facilitate engagement between Iran and the United States” in a call with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.
“Foreign Minister Wang Yi reiterated appreciation and support for Pakistan’s constructive mediation role,” Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a readout of the discussions between both of them.
“Both sides underscored the importance of continuing a durable ceasefire and ensuring normal passage through the Strait of Hormuz,” the ministry stated.
Notably, US President Trump is also set to visit China this week.
