Initiative to facilitate US-Iran talks underway

Pakistan rejected media reports that its initiative to facilitate talks between the US and Iran to end the ongoing conflict in West Asia had hit obstacles after the initial exchange of peace proposals.

Speculation emerged after a senior Foreign Ministry official briefed a select group of journalists on Pakistan’s efforts to find a negotiated settlement to the ongoing conflict.

Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi, in a statement, rejected the media reports as “baseless” and a “figment of imagination.”
