Deputy PM and FM Ishaq Dar noted that he had spoken with various foreign ministers on the ongoing situation.

“I think I have not talked to anyone who disagrees that dialogue and diplomacy is the only way forward, not only for this region but wherever there is any conflict.

“There are forums available, there are systems in place post-World War Two, so it seems to be a very turbulent time in the diplomatic space and the diplomatic world, which we all need to work together to bring it back to the original agreed principles,” Dar said.
