Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi has said that Pakistan, consistent with its longstanding policy, remained committed to the resolution of ongoing conflict through diplomatic means and engagements.

The statement came after several international media outlets, including Reuters and Axios, suggested that Islamabad could serve as a venue for potential direct talks between US and Iranian representatives in the coming days.

“Diplomacy and negotiations often require that certain matters be advanced with discretion. The media is therefore encouraged to refrain from speculation and to await official announcements regarding decisions and outcomes,” the FO spokesperson said.
