Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has noted Pakistan’s role in bringing the US and Iran to direct negotiations for the first time in 47 years.

Addressing the second session of the Ulema Council Conference in Islamabad, Dar said that Pakistan “played its full part” from February 28 until today in its response to the US-Iran conflict.

“After 47 years, we brought the US and Iran to sit down at the same table,” he added, contrasting it with the indirect negotiations that had taken place previously.
