Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif spoke with Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian on Sunday to discuss the situation in the Gulf, amid persistent regional tensions. The exchange, revealed by the Pakistani prime minister, was part of a series of diplomatic consultations held in recent days with several key players in the Middle East.
According to Shehbaz Sharif, this conversation provided an opportunity to share with his Iranian counterpart information from his recent discussions with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey. These discussions reflect Islamabad's desire to maintain an active dialogue with regional powers, given the continued fragility of the geopolitical balance in the Gulf.
The Pakistani Prime Minister welcomed Tehran's commitment to strengthening bilateral relations, highlighting the dispatch of a high-level Iranian delegation to Islamabad for talks described as historic. He also mentioned recent discussions held in Tehran with the head of the Pakistani army, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, a sign of expanding cooperation between the two countries.
In this context, Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to playing an active role in promoting regional peace and stability. Islamabad is thus seeking to position itself as a facilitator of dialogue, capable of fostering exchanges between powers that are sometimes at odds in the region.
This interview comes as tensions in the Gulf continue to fuel international concern. Faced with these challenges, diplomatic initiatives are multiplying, with the aim of preventing escalation and maintaining an already precarious balance in this strategic region.
