ISLAMABAD - Pakistan has completed all preparations for the high-stakes second round of talks between the United States and Iran, with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi personally overseeing security and logistical arrangements for the visiting delegations.

 

On the eve of the negotiations, Naqvi held back-to-back meetings with the Iranian Ambassador and the US Ambassador, underscoring Pakistan's pivotal role as a mediator between the two adversaries.

 

In a meeting at the Interior Ministry, Naqvi received Iranian Ambassador Dr. Reza Amiri Moghadam, where both sides discussed arrangements for the second phase of the Islamabad talks.

 

The Interior Minister emphasized the need for "a sustainable solution through diplomatic and negotiation channels to reduce tensions." He also briefed the Ambassador about his recent visit to Iran, where he had accompanied Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir.

 

Ambassador Moghadam appreciated Pakistan's "positive and constructive role in de-escalating tensions in the region."

 

Naqvi stated that preparations for the second phase have been completed and that "foolproof security arrangements have been made for foreign delegations." He added that Pakistan–Iran relations span decades and are valued as brotherly ties.

"Pakistan advocates resolving the Iran–U.S. conflict through dialogue, and a lasting solution is essential for regional stability and peace," Naqvi said.

 

 

Later, Naqvi met with US Ambassador Natalie Baker, where both sides held detailed discussions on strengthening Pakistan–US relations and the latest regional situation.

 

Security arrangements for the second round of the Islamabad talks were reviewed during the meeting. Ambassador Baker appreciated Pakistan's "sincere role in reducing tensions in the region."

 

Naqvi briefed the Ambassador on the security measures put in place, stating that "special security arrangements have been made for all distinguished guests."

 

He expressed hope and prayers for the success of the second round of talks.

 

 

With the Red Zone sealed, heavy security deployed, and both US and Iranian delegations expected to arrive shortly, Islamabad stands ready to host what could be a historic diplomatic breakthrough.

 

As one senior official told reporters: "Pakistan has done its part. Now the world waits to see if both sides are ready to make peace."
