Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced that the country has invited the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt to attend a meeting in Islamabad on March 29 and 30. In a statement posted on X, Dar said the participants will hold “deep discussions,” including efforts to ease tensions in the region. Egypt’s Foreign Ministry has confirmed that its foreign minister has already arrived in the Pakistani capital to take part in the talks.

According to the report, Pakistan is seeking to play a mediating role in promoting peace across the region. The country has also proposed hosting a meeting between the United States and Iran, though it remains uncertain whether that will take place. Earlier in the week, Dar mentioned that indirect talks were ongoing through message exchanges facilitated by Pakistan.

The report also noted that former U.S. President Donald Trump shared a screenshot of a post by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Truth Social, in which Sharif stated that Pakistan was “ready” to host such discussions.
