US-Iran deal will pave road for permanent peace in region and beyond: Dar

Pakistan has warmly welcomed the deal reached between the United States and Iran, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar said on Monday.

“We look forward to the formal signing ceremony on 19 June in Geneva and remain confident that this positive development will pave the way for lasting peace, stability and shared prosperity for the region and beyond,” he wrote in a post on X.

“Today’s significant breakthrough is a testament to the power of sustained diplomacy and the shared determination of our allies to choose dialogue over confrontation,” he said on X.

It also sends a reassuring message to the international community and brings much needed trust and stability to global markets and the world economy, especially for poor countries most vulnerable to regional instability.

Pakistan remains actively engaged with all interested parties and constantly urged caution and constructive engagement in this regard, reiterating that dialogue and diplomacy remain the only viable options for the resolution of any concerns.

“We appreciate the confidence that leaders in both the United States and Iran have placed in Pakistan and appreciate their willingness to remain engaged in seeking a peaceful and negotiated resolution.”

“We also thank the support and sincere diplomatic efforts of our brotherly countries including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt and others, as well as the United Nations and our international partners who remained closely engaged throughout this process and helped realise this important milestone,” the post read.

As negotiations on unresolved issues continue, Pakistan is ready to support every effort to consolidate this progress.
