The discussions will focus on diplomatic initiatives aimed at reducing tensions in the Middle East and exploring pathways toward a ceasefire. Pakistan has increasingly positioned itself as a mediator, facilitating indirect communication between Tehran and Washington.
Recent developments suggest momentum toward dialogue, with reports indicating that Iran has conveyed a response to a US proposal through Islamabad. Meanwhile, US envoy Steve Witkoff has expressed optimism that talks between the two sides could take place soon.
