Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Pakistan had played the role of a “sincere and honest facilitator” in the US-Iran dialogue and remained grateful for the trust and confidence reposed in it by both Washington and Tehran.

Speaking to a delegation of US congressmen and businessmen, he said that, with the support of Pakistan’s brotherly countries and international partners, those efforts had culminated in the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in June this year.

Dar added that Pakistan would continue to support dialogue, diplomacy and the peaceful resolution of disputes, as it firmly believed these remained the only sustainable pathways to lasting peace and stability.
