Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar held a telephone conversation with his Iranian counterpart, Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, on Thursday to discuss the evolving regional situation.
According to the Foreign Office, the two foreign ministers exchanged views on recent developments across the region, with particular emphasis on the importance of continued diplomatic engagement to address outstanding issues.
Dar reiterated that sustained dialogue and diplomacy are essential to resolving differences and promoting regional peace. He stressed that all parties should remain constructively engaged and maintain communication channels.
He said active and sustained diplomatic efforts are necessary to ensure lasting peace, security and stability in the region, and that continued dialogue was the most appropriate means of addressing outstanding issues, managing developments and preventing further tensions.
Dar urged all parties to remain positively engaged and pursue constructive approaches, according to the Foreign Office statement.
The statement did not name any specific country, dispute or incident beyond the evolving regional situation and recent developments.
The conversation comes at a time of heightened attention on regional diplomacy, with Pakistan maintaining contact with neighbouring countries on matters affecting peace and stability.
Pakistan and Iran share a long border and have regularly discussed regional security, trade and border management in their diplomatic exchanges.
Diplomatic engagement between the two countries has continued through regular contacts between their foreign ministers and other officials.
Further details of the conversation were not immediately available, and the Foreign Office statement gave no indication of any specific agreement or joint announcement following the call.
Pakistan has long favoured resolving regional differences through talks rather than confrontation, a position its leaders have repeated in contacts with neighbouring countries and at international forums.
Diplomatic observers note that telephone conversations between foreign ministers are a routine way for countries to exchange views quickly when regional developments require coordination.
The call also reflects the continuing channel of communication between Islamabad and Tehran, which both sides have used to discuss matters of mutual interest.
For now, the Foreign Office statement is the only public account of the conversation, and it frames the exchange around the shared goal of lasting peace, security and stability in the region.
