Pakistan has reiterated its commitment to diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions in West Asia, despite recent hostilities between the US and Iran.
The country hosted the first round of face-to-face talks between the US and Iran in 47 years in April, but the talks ended without a breakthrough.
Pakistan's Foreign Office spokesperson, Tahir Andrabi, acknowledged the challenges posed by the deteriorating security situation but said the country had not lost hope of achieving a peaceful resolution through dialogue.
The US and Iran exchanged strikes for a second consecutive day, with the US military action appearing more extensive and intense than the previous day's operation.
Pakistan remains deeply concerned over the deteriorating security situation in the region and urges all parties to adhere to ceasefire understandings and end hostilities to create room for diplomacy.
The country's diplomatic outreach includes Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi's visit to Tehran and meetings with the Iranian leadership, as well as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar's meetings with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Pakistan's diplomatic engagement has contributed to efforts that led to contacts between the United States and Israel, resulting in a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon.
