Pakistan’s political and military leaders are working hard to ensure that peace talks between the US and Iran quickly resume as a ceasefire between the two sides remains tenuous.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif traveled to Saudi Arabia, where he discussed the current situation in the Middle East with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Sharif, accompanied by a high-level delegation including Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, will then visit Qatar for further meetings before heading to Turkey for a meeting with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, dw.com reports.
At the same time, Field Marshal Asim Munir, the head of Pakistan’s army, has arrived in Tehran for talks aimed at resolving the war.
Munir is considered one of the most influential intermediaries between the US and Iran.
Peace talks held in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad last weekend broke down after one day. Regional partners have been keen to get both sides back at the negotiating table as soon as possible while the conflict weighs heavily on the world economy.
