Speaking on a television programme, Mushahid Hussain Syed, who chairs the Pakistan-China Institute, expressed optimism about the second round of talks. He suggested that in the event of a breakthrough, Trump would prefer to sign the agreement himself rather than delegate the task to Vice President JD Vance.
He further added that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian could also visit Pakistan if a deal is reached, signalling the significance of Islamabad’s role in facilitating the negotiations.
Former foreign secretary Aizaz Chaudhry also expressed confidence that the next round of talks between Washington and Tehran would be productive. He noted that both sides appear willing to continue engagement despite longstanding differences.
The remarks come amid growing diplomatic activity centred around Islamabad, which has emerged as a key venue for dialogue between the two countries. Recent discussions have raised hopes for a potential agreement addressing critical issues, including nuclear concerns and regional stability.
Earlier, President Trump indicated that Pakistan is a preferred location for upcoming negotiations, praising the role of Pakistan’s leadership, including Asim Munir. He hinted that developments could unfold soon and suggested that talks in Pakistan remain a strong possibility.
