Pakistan on Thursday confirmed relaying messages between the US and Iran, saying dialogue and diplomacy are the only way forward to end the West
Asia conflict.
Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said that Turkey and Egypt are also supporting the initiative as Pakistan continues to make every effort to ensure stability in the region. “The US-Iran indirect talks are taking place through messages being relayed by Pakistan. In this context, the United States has shared 15 points, being deliberated upon by Iran. Brotherly countries of Turkey and Egypt, among others, are also extending their support to this initiative,” Dar, who is also the Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan, posted on X.
“Dialogue and diplomacy are the only way forward,” he added.
Dar also tagged US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US President Donald Trump’s Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff in the post.
Meanwhile, India, China relations have embarked on a “correct path” of improvement, and their shared interests far outweigh differences, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday.
Under the strategic guidance of the leaders of both countries, China-India relations have embarked on a correct path of improvement and development, Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), said.
Facing a complex and turbulent international situation, China is willing to work with India to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of both countries, uphold the principle of viewing each other as development opportunities rather than threats and treat each other as partners rather than competitors, he said during a farewell call on the outgoing Indian Ambassador Pradeep Rawat.Â
