ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar is meeting US Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio in Washington on Friday as Islamabad and Washington continue diplomatic engagement on regional peace, security and bilateral cooperation.
The meeting follows Dar’s engagements at the United Nations Security Council and other meetings in New York, where he participated in discussions on international peace, security and global governance.
The talks come amid heightened diplomatic activity surrounding the Middle East crisis, maritime security concerns and ongoing efforts to preserve the Iran-US ceasefire framework.
Pakistan has remained actively engaged with Tehran, Washington, Gulf states and other international partners in recent months as negotiations continue on broader regional stability and the reopening of maritime trade routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Pakistan’s Foreign Office, the two sides are expected to review bilateral relations and exchange views on regional and global developments of mutual interest.
“The discussions will also focus on strengthening cooperation in key priority sectors, as well as Pakistan’s efforts to promote regional peace and stability through dialogue and diplomacy,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.
The ministry said the visit reflects Pakistan’s commitment to “further deepening its longstanding and broad-based partnership with the United States.”
