Dar has continued to receive international recognition for his diplomatic leadership as Pakistan has positioned itself at the center of high-stakes mediation efforts during the ongoing conflict between the US, Israel and Iran.
Hosting the “Islamabad Talks” in early April, which although ended without a breakthrough, Pakistan has continued its diplomatic efforts, engaging with leaders across the Gulf and beyond.
On April 27, FM Dar held separate telephone conversations with the foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, Canada and Egypt, where they discussed the development of the regional situation and emphasized the importance of diplomacy for peace. Three days later, EU Vice President Kaja Kallas also spoke to Dar and appreciated Pakistan’s continued constructive role in promoting regional peace and stability.
