In its official statement, the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs hopes that all parties can engage in a constructive manner and achieve a sustainable peaceful solution.
The war on Iran is said to have caused a major shock to the global oil supply, disrupting energy production in the Gulf region, and triggering concerns about inflation, food crises, and global recession risks.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif referred to these negotiations as a crucial moment that will determine whether the temporary ceasefire can develop into long-term peace.
