ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan's leadership has received international recognition for its role in facilitating peace efforts in the Middle East, particularly in advancing US President Donald Trump's 15-point plan for regional stability.

US Representative Ryan Zinke, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, praised Pakistan's initiative in a post on X, stating: "As a member of @HouseForeignGOP, I applaud Pakistan's leadership and initiative in hosting peace talks and delivering President Trump's 15-point plan for peace in the Middle East. Bravo Zulu."

Iran's Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam also welcomed Islamabad's efforts, describing them as a "friendly & brotherly initiative to stop the US-Israeli aggression against Iran and restore peace and stability to the region." He added that further details regarding the talks would be shared in subsequent posts.

Meanwhile, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reaffirmed strong bilateral ties with Pakistan during a phone call with Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Turkish FM expressed "appreciation for the hospitality" extended during his recent visit to Pakistan for the meeting of four foreign ministers held in Islamabad.
