Pakistan has intensified security measures in Islamabad ahead of a possible high-level second-round meeting expected to address nuclear issues. Around 10,000 police officers have been deployed across the capital, with an additional 10,000 personnel being mobilized from nearby provinces. Special search and combing operations have begun under the Inspector General’s directive, while checkpoints and patrols have been increased at city entry and exit points. Movement at major bus terminals has also been restricted.

The country’s prime minister, army chief, and armed forces leaders are preparing to welcome world leaders to what has been described as a historic event. The Foreign Ministry indicated potential progress on nuclear matters, with diplomats from Tehran to Washington maintaining close contact. Islamabad aims to ensure a secure and respectful environment for all participants.

The preparations follow U.S. President Donald Trump’s remark suggesting that the second round of talks could take place in Islamabad by the end of the week. The first round was held on April 11, but no final decisions were reached on Iran’s nuclear program, the Strait of Hormuz, or U.S. sanctions.
