Pakistan is set to host the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Egypt from March 29 to 30 for in-depth discussions on key regional and global issues, including efforts to ease tensions amid the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran.

Islamabad has emerged as a key facilitator between Iran and the United States as their war drags on, serving as an intermediary for messages between the two sides.

The Foreign Office (FO), in a statement on Saturday, said that the visit comes at the invitation of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Turkiye’s Hakan Fidan, and Egypt’s Badr Abdelatty will visit Islamabad during this period.

“During the visit, the foreign ministers will hold in-depth discussions on a range of issues, including efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region. The visiting dignitaries will also call on the Prime Minister [Shebaz Sharif],” the FO statement added.

“Pakistan highly valued its relations with the brotherly countries of Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and Egypt,” it added.
