Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar says that after Pakistan’s role in the US-Iran negotiations, it is being recognised as a “peacemaker”.

Speaking in the National Assembly, he recalled that there was a time when it was said that “Pakistan was diplomatically isolated” and called a “terrorist country”; however, today, it is being called a “peacemaker”.

He said that at a recent diplomatic forum in Oslo, the US chargé d’affaires of Pakistan labelled the country a “net security provider for the region”.

“It was said that Pakistan has officially, by its role in the US-Iran dispute —which was unimaginable — become a net security provider to this region,” he quoted the US official as saying.
