Islamabad: Government sources have confirmed that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, accompanied by a small delegation, is expected to arrive in the Pakistani capital Islamabad tonight. The visit is being described as highly significant in the context of ongoing regional tensions and intensified diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation.
This development comes shortly after detailed telephone discussions between Iran’s foreign minister, Pakistan’s Field Marshal and Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir, and Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, during which the regional situation and ceasefire-related matters were reviewed.
According to sources, Abbas Araghchi is expected to hold key meetings with Pakistan’s mediation team in Islamabad, with strong indications that a second round of the “Islamabad peace talks” between the United States and Iran could follow. The discussions are aimed at addressing long-standing misunderstandings and paving the way for a sustained ceasefire.
Reports suggest that US logistical and security teams are already present in Islamabad as preparations for the diplomatic engagement continue. Analysts say the possible re-emergence of Islamabad as a hub for high-level international dialogue reflects Pakistan’s growing diplomatic profile and its role as a facilitator in regional and global negotiations.
