Turkey has called for constructive dialogue between the United States and Iran to help end their ongoing conflict. The Turkish government said it will continue supporting efforts aimed at establishing peace between the two sides, according to Al Jazeera. As a NATO member and neighbor of Iran, Turkey stated that it maintains regular contact with the U.S., Iran, and mediator Pakistan, repeatedly urging an end to hostilities.

During a weekly briefing, Turkey’s Defense Ministry said it would keep providing necessary assistance to turn the current ceasefire into lasting peace and prevent further complications. The ministry also expressed hope that all parties involved in the discussions would play constructive roles.

A Turkish diplomatic source added that the foreign ministers of Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt are scheduled to meet later in the week in Antalya, southern Turkey, on the sidelines of a diplomatic forum. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Sharif is expected to visit Turkey after his trip to Qatar.
