Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi have held telephone discussions focused on the Iran-US peace process, “especially the first round of high-level talks in Burgenstock”, according to the Foreign Office (FO).

Dar shared that the talks had led to the establishment of a “high-level committee aimed at providing oversight to the mediation process under the Islamabad MoU”.

The three working groups constituted to focus on the nuclear issue, sanctions, and monitoring and dispute resolution would aim to facilitate a final deal between the parties within 60 days, the FO added.

Wang Yi reaffirmed China’s unwavering support for Pakistan’s mediation efforts, and the two leaders reaffirmed the resolve of Pakistan and China to work closely for a negotiated settlement between the parties, the statement said.
