ISLAMABAD:
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the Ambassador of Iran to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam on Tuesday expressed deep appreciation for Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar for his facilitation of talks with the United States.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), Dar received a call today from Guterres, during which they discussed the latest regional developments as well as Pakistan’s ongoing diplomatic efforts and engagement with the parties. Appreciating Pakistan’s ongoing efforts, “the UNSG conveyed the international community’s deep appreciation and support for Pakistan’s constructive role in regional and international peace and stability,” it said. The ministry further stated that Guterres also expressed the UN’s full support for Pakistan’s ongoing efforts.
Earlier, in a post on X, Iranian Envoy Moghadam extended his appreciation to the “veteran, competent and career diplomats of the MOFA of Pakistan.”
“As trusted harbingers of international harmony, diplomats are the architects of peace, entrusted with navigating the delicate complexities of international relations through the patient craft of dialogue, empathy, and understanding,” the ambassador stated.
Moghadam added his appreciation to FM Dar and the diplomats of the foreign ministry “for their tireless efforts in facilitating, coordinating, and meticulously preparing the arrangements for the delegations and talks, often long before the talks themselves commenced.” He said, “Their dedicated efforts translate political will and principled determination into the practical avenues and arrangements necessary for any diplomatic process to take shape.”
“This is diplomacy in its truest sense,” the ambassador noted, adding that it is “not merely words, but the quiet, persistent labour that makes dialogue possible and peace attainable. Their professionalism and commitment deserve deep recognition and gratitude.”
A day earlier, the foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, Canada and Egypt discussed the latest developments in the regional situation and emphasised the importance of dialogue and diplomacy for peace during separate telephone calls with Dar.
