ISLAMABAD – Pakistan is set to welcome foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt beginning Sunday for diplomatic discussions centered on the Iran conflict, as the nation positions itself as a possible location for future U.S.-Iran peace talks.<\/p>

The weekend gathering will feature “comprehensive conversations on various matters, including initiatives to reduce regional tensions,” according to a Saturday announcement from Pakistan’s foreign ministry regarding the two-day diplomatic session.<\/p>

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan explained that the gathering would focus on creating a framework designed to lower tensions in the region.<\/p>

“We would discuss where the negotiations in this war are heading and how these four countries assess the situation and what can be done,” he stated during a Friday evening interview with broadcaster A Haber.<\/p>

All four participating nations have attempted to serve as intermediaries between Washington and Tehran regarding the conflict that began February 28 when the U.S. and Israel launched military action, and each country faces significant risks from disrupted energy supplies and commercial shipping lanes.<\/p>

Pakistani officials have delivered a U.S. peace proposal to Iranian leadership and extended an invitation to host negotiations, with Iranian representatives suggesting that any diplomatic talks might occur in either Pakistan or Turkey.<\/p>

While U.S. President Donald Trump has characterized discussions with Iran as proceeding “very well,” Tehran has denied engaging in direct conversations with Washington.<\/p>

Iranian officials continue examining the 15-point American proposal, though one representative has criticized it as “one-sided and unfair.” The proposal reportedly includes requirements for Iran to dismantle its nuclear capabilities, limit missile development programs, and essentially surrender control of the Strait of Hormuz, based on source reports.<\/p>

Speaking at an Istanbul conference Saturday, Turkey’s Fidan emphasized that the world’s emerging “polycentric system” demands solutions for protecting crucial energy and trade corridors. He described Turkey’s high-level diplomatic efforts as focused on quickly identifying “actionable steps” to halt the conflict before additional damage occurs to regional stability and the global economy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
