Pakistan has introduced a special Visa-on-Arrival facility for foreign delegates and journalists attending the Iran–US talks in Islamabad. The decision aims to ensure smooth participation in the high-level diplomatic meeting.
The talks are set to begin today in the federal capital. They come at a time when a fragile ceasefire exists between Iran and the United States. This temporary pause in conflict has created a chance for dialogue.
Officials confirmed that the Visa-on-Arrival policy will apply to all registered participants. This includes diplomats, policymakers, and international media representatives. The move reflects Pakistan’s efforts to support global engagement in the talks.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated that special arrangements have been made. Airlines have been directed to allow eligible passengers to travel even without prior visas. This step ensures that last-minute participants are not affected.
Immigration authorities have also been instructed to provide fast-track services. Dedicated counters will help process the Visa-on-Arrival quickly upon arrival. Officials said this will reduce delays and improve coordination.
The talks follow weeks of rising tensions in the Middle East. Military actions and regional instability had raised fears of a wider conflict. Pakistan played a role in facilitating a two-week ceasefire, which opened the door for negotiations.
Security in Islamabad has been significantly increased. Authorities have declared public holidays and imposed strict measures in key areas. The Red Zone has been secured, and important locations are under close monitoring.
The Serena Hotel has been reserved for official delegations. Traffic diversions and road closures are already in place. Emergency services and hospitals are on high alert to handle any situation.
A US advance team has also arrived to review security and arrangements. Officials say all preparations are focused on ensuring a safe and smooth environment for talks.
Pakistan is playing a key role as a mediator in these discussions. The country has maintained communication between both sides and coordinated with regional partners. These efforts have placed Islamabad at the center of global diplomacy.
Observers believe the talks could lead to reduced tensions if successful. The Visa-on-Arrival initiative highlights Pakistan’s commitment to facilitating dialogue and promoting peace.
