Pakistani High Commissioner to the UK Mohammad Faisal says that we need to “see through the dust” and look at the issues being discussed in talks between the US and Iran, independent of narratives created on social media.

He notes that last weekend’s talks in Islamabad were “very carefully guarded” due to the sensitivity of the issues under discussion.

“I think there is one narrative … that you see on social media … and one that was in the talks,” he tells Sky News.

“Whatever is happening on social media, which is a part of this new normal, this new diplomacy we are having … we have to see through them and look at the real hardcore issues being discussed away from them,” Faisal adds.
