Islamabad: Pakistan on Thursday reiterated that diplomacy and negotiations remain the only viable path to resolving tensions between the United States and Iran, saying the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) provides a strong framework for restoring peace and stability in the Middle East.
Speaking at the weekly media briefing, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said Pakistan continues to engage with regional and international partners to help reduce tensions and encourage the resumption of dialogue.
He said Pakistan believes that lasting peace can only be achieved through negotiations, adding that the Islamabad MoU lays the foundation for mutual respect, regional stability and shared prosperity.
“Pakistan will continue encouraging all concerned parties to resume technical-level talks in line with the Islamabad MoU and the Pakistan-Qatar Joint Declaration of June 22, 2026,” Andrabi said.
The spokesperson acknowledged that implementation of the agreement faces challenges but stressed that diplomacy remains the only sustainable solution to disputes in the region.
He warned that continued instability is affecting developing countries through disruptions to global energy supplies, trade and food security.
