PTI hopes ‘Islamabad Talks’ lead to ‘fruitful resolutions serving greater good’

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday expressed hope for the success of the ongoing “Islamabad Talks” and yielding constructive outcomes.

Delegations from Washington and Tehran are in Islamabad for negotiations aimed at ending the six-week-old Iran war, which has killed thousands across the Middle East, disrupted energy supplies, fueled inflation and slowed the global economy.

The Iranian delegation, led by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, arrived in Pakistan last night. Meanwhile, the US delegation, headed by Vice President JD Vance, landed in Islamabad this morning. The US delegation also included key Middle East envoys from President Donald Trump’s administration, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

In a post on X today, PTI expressed hope for the success of the ongoing US-Iran talks in Islamabad. The party said it offered “sincere prayers for the success” of the negotiations and hoped the deliberations would produce “constructive and mutually beneficial outcomes”.

PTI said the talks should help “advance the collective interests of the Muslim Ummah” while also reinforcing Pakistan’s strategic interests and promoting “peace, stability and prosperity” in the wider region.

“May Allah Almighty bless these efforts with wisdom and guidance,” he said, expressing hope that the discussions lead to “fruitful resolutions that serve the greater good of all concerned parties”.

Pakistan has emerged as a key mediator in the region. On February 28, the US and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, which prompted Tehran to retaliate with attacks on Israel and US military bases in the Gulf. This escalation of tensions in the Middle East led to efforts by political and military leadership in Pakistan to de-escalate the situation.

To ease tensions, Pakistan had also hosted a quadrilateral foreign ministers’ meeting in Islamabad, with representatives from Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. The meeting grabbed the world’s attention and was widely appreciated for Pakistan’s efforts.

Pakistan and China also jointly proposed a five-point initiative aimed at restoring peace and stability in the Gulf and the broader Middle East.
