Pakistan’s Diplomatic Efforts Amid the War
In the ongoing Middle East conflict, Pakistan has played a unique role. Pakistan has attempted to mediate between the US and Iran. According to Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, both nations have engaged in talks facilitated by Pakistan. Additionally, Turkey and Egypt have supported this diplomatic initiative. Their collective aim is to ensure peace in the region.
