Islamabad (GNP) :- Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar spoke today with his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi.
On the occasion, Ayman Safadi expressed Jordan’s sincere appreciation for Pakistan’s constructive role and its continued efforts to promote peace, dialogue, and regional stability amid ongoing tensions.
Ishaq Dar reaffirmed Pakistan’s firm commitment to encouraging constructive engagement among all parties, with the aim of ensuring stability and achieving peaceful conflict resolution through dialogue and diplomacy.
Both leaders highlighted the importance of sustaining diplomatic efforts to address regional challenges and emphasized the value of cooperation in fostering long-term peace.
They also reaffirmed the strong and enduring bilateral relations between Pakistan and Jordan, underscoring the need to further strengthen collaboration at both bilateral and multilateral levels.
The two sides agreed to remain in close contact and continue working together on matters of mutual interest and regional significance.
“DPM/FM underscored the importance of sustained diplomatic efforts for de-escalation and reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to peace and regional stability,” the foreign office said in a post on X. “Both sides agreed to remain in close contact.”
Dar also spoke with Jordan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi about the ongoing Middle East situation, emphasizing the need for urgent de‑escalation.
“Both leaders agreed to remain in close contact on evolving developments,” the foreign office said.
Islamabad has positioned itself as a potential intermediary, reportedly conveying messages between Washington and Tehran to create space for dialogue.
The US and Israel struck Iran on Feb. 28, citing insufficient progress on nuclear talks, though mediator Oman said significant headway had been made. Since then, Iran has hit countries hosting US bases, targeted Gulf energy infrastructure, and effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a key conduit for a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas.
The US said it was intensely bombing Iran before President Donald Trump gave it a deadline to reopen the waterway until Mar. 27.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has ordered thousands of additional troops to the region, in addition to the 2,500 Marines already en route.
