Pakistan has reportedly offered to host a second round of negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad in the coming days, ahead of the expected end of the current ceasefire period, according to The Associated Press.
Two Pakistani officials, speaking on condition of anonymity due to lack of authorization to discuss diplomatic matters publicly, confirmed that the proposal has been made. They added that the offer remains flexible and would depend on whether United States and Iran agree to hold the next round of talks in Islamabad or choose another venue.
Officials said that although the initial round of talks did not result in a formal agreement, the process is still viewed by Pakistan as ongoing diplomacy rather than a breakdown in negotiations.
Pakistani authorities reportedly believe that continued engagement between the two sides is important to prevent renewed tensions after the ceasefire period ends.
By offering Islamabad as a host city, Pakistan appears to be positioning itself as a facilitator for dialogue at a sensitive regional moment, aiming to keep communication channels open between the two countries.
