Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday held a telephone conversation with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, during which the two leaders discussed the evolving regional situation and ongoing peace efforts, the Prime Minister’s Office said.
During the 45-minute call, the prime minister thanked the Iranian leadership for sending a high-level delegation to Islamabad earlier this month for talks, describing the engagement as constructive.
He also briefed President Pezeshkian on his recent interactions with leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkiye, saying the consultations had helped build consensus in favour of dialogue and diplomacy to restore peace in the conflict-hit region.
