Amid hopes of a breakthrough in the deadlocked Iran-US negotiations, an Iranian delegation, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, arrived in Islamabad on Friday night ahead of the much-awaited second round of peace talks.
During the visit, the Iranian foreign minister will hold meetings with Pakistan’s senior leadership to discuss the latest regional developments as well as ongoing efforts for regional peace and stability.
An official described the Iranian delegation’s visit as a key step toward the resumption of direct talks with the United States aimed at ending the weeks-long conflict.
