Ishaq Dar has said that diplomatic Negotiations between the United States and Iran are still ongoing despite the recent talks ending without an agreement. His statement comes after high-level discussions in Islamabad concluded without a breakthrough.
Speaking to the media, Dar emphasized that Pakistan remains committed to keeping the Negotiations process alive. He said both sides have shown willingness to engage, even though differences remain on key issues. According to him, continued dialogue is essential to avoid further tensions.
The talks were attended by senior delegations from both countries. The United States team was led by JD Vance, while the Iranian delegation included representatives linked to Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. The Negotiations lasted for several hours and covered a range of topics, including regional stability and nuclear concerns.
Pakistan played a key role in facilitating the discussions. Dar praised Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for initiating efforts to bring both sides together. He also acknowledged the support of Asim Munir in assisting the process. Officials believe that mediation efforts helped create space for meaningful Negotiations.
Although no final agreement was reached, Dar noted that both sides responded positively to calls for a ceasefire. He said this shows that communication channels remain open. Pakistan hopes to build on this progress in the coming days.
Experts say the continuation of Negotiations is a positive sign. They believe that even limited engagement can reduce the risk of escalation. Diplomatic efforts are often complex and require time to achieve results.
Analysts also point out that trust remains a major challenge. Differences over nuclear policy and sanctions continue to divide the two sides. However, ongoing Negotiations could help narrow these gaps over time.
Pakistan has reiterated its neutral position in the matter. Officials say the country aims to act as a bridge between both sides. The goal is to promote peace and stability in the region through sustained dialogue.
The departure of delegations from Islamabad marked the end of this phase of talks. However, officials have made it clear that Negotiations are not over. Future meetings may be scheduled as both sides consider their next steps.
