Pakistan has formally offered to host a second round of negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad in the coming days, ahead of the anticipated end of the current ceasefire period, reported The Associated Press.
Two Pakistani officials confirmed the proposal while speaking on condition of anonymity, as they were not authorised to discuss diplomatic developments publicly.
The officials said the offer remains flexible and will ultimately depend on whether Washington and Tehran prefer to hold the next round of discussions at another location.
Despite the first round of talks concluding without a formal agreement, Pakistani authorities view the dialogue as part of a continuing diplomatic process rather than a failed attempt.
Officials believe maintaining engagement between the two sides is essential to preventing renewed tensions once the ceasefire timeline expires.
By offering Islamabad as a venue, Pakistan appears to be positioning itself as a facilitator of dialogue at a sensitive geopolitical moment as it seeks to keep communication channels open and encourage further negotiations between the two adversaries.
