Islamabad, April 24: Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi is expected to arrive in Pakistan tonight, accompanied by a delegation. He has already held discussions with Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, as well as Army Commander Field Marshal Asim Munir.
According to Pakistani media reports, Araghchi’s visit is anticipated by Friday night. The semi-official Tasnim News Agency from Iran stated that officials discussed regional development and ceasefire issues. Additionally, it reported that Araghchi had a separate phone call with Nechirvan Barzani, President of Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region, to discuss regional development.
Pakistani media outlet Dawn cited sources indicating that Araghchi’s team is set to arrive in Islamabad late Friday night for talks with the United States. A U.S. logistics and security team is already present in the federal capital. Previously, the foreign ministers of both countries had discussed ceasefire matters with the U.S. over the phone, fueling speculation about Araghchi’s visit to Islamabad.
Information shared by Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry revealed that this development occurred just hours after Ishaq Dar and Araghchi exchanged views on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and Pakistan’s ongoing diplomatic efforts.
On the social media platform X, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry stated, “Both sides exchanged views on regional development, ceasefire, and the diplomatic efforts being made by Islamabad regarding U.S.-Iran talks.”
Dar emphasized the importance of continuous dialogue and engagement to resolve outstanding issues and advance regional peace and stability as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, his Iranian counterpart praised Pakistan’s ongoing and constructive facilitation role in this context. Both leaders agreed to maintain close communication.
In recent days, Pakistan has intensified its diplomatic efforts to bring the U.S. and Iran back to the negotiating table. However, delays have occurred due to ongoing tensions between the two nations, particularly following Iran’s announcement to close the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. imposing restrictions on Iranian ports, which prolonged the second round of talks.
On Thursday, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi held an urgent meeting with U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Natalie Baker in Islamabad to discuss diplomatic efforts regarding the second round of U.S.-Iran talks.
