ISLAMABAD: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Saturday highlighted the Pakistan–China five-point initiative, aimed at promoting peace and stability in the Middle East and the Gulf region, during a telephone conversation with Bahrain’s counterpart, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), the two leaders discussed the latest regional situation, exchanged views on multilateral efforts, including at the UNSC, and agreed to remain in close contact.
“FM Dar underscored the urgent need for de-escalation and emphasised the importance of dialogue and diplomacy,” the statement read.
MOFA said that Dar highlighted the Pakistan–China five-point initiative, aimed at promoting peace and stability in the Middle East and the Gulf region.
“Al Zayani appreciated the efforts being pursued by Pakistan for dialogue and diplomacy towards peace and stability in the region,” it added.
Pakistan has been actively positioning itself as a neutral facilitator amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran, offering Islamabad as a venue for dialogue.
The initiative reflects Islamabad’s broader effort to de-escalate regional tensions, particularly in the wake of heightened hostilities following US and Israeli strikes against Iranian targets. Staff Report
