Bahrain applauds Pakistan’s efforts to promote stability and peace in the region.

Bahrain has valued Pakistan’s attempts to engage in communication and diplomacy in order to promote regional peace and stability.

This gratitude was conveyed during a phone call on Saturday between Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani and Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar.

The current state of affairs in the region was discussed by the two leaders.

The Deputy Prime Minister stressed the critical necessity for de-escalation and the value of communication and diplomacy throughout the discussion.

He also emphasised the five-point effort between China and Pakistan that aims to advance peace and stability in the Gulf and Middle East.

Additionally, all parties promised to stay in close communication and shared opinions on multilateral initiatives, such as the UNSC.

Earlier, Iran has firmly rejected reports circulating in Western media suggesting it declined participation in talks in Islamabad, instead reaffirming its willingness to engage and expressing gratitude to Pakistan for its diplomatic initiatives.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi addressed what he called false information about Tehran’s position on possible talks in a message posted on social media site X.

He underlined that Iran had “never refused to go to Islamabad” and that Pakistan’s attempts to resolve the current dispute were still appreciated.

The Iranian minister also acknowledged Pakistan’s consistent support, praising its diplomatic outreach and solidarity. He thanked Pakistan for its contribution and expressed support for the nation in an Urdu slogan at the end of his speech.
