ISLAMABAD - Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar received congratulatory calls from his Turkish, Bahraini, and Canadian counterparts on Thursday following the historic signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan congratulated Pakistan on the landmark agreement, which was signed in Islamabad with Pakistan serving as mediator. Both leaders expressed hope that the development would contribute to "lasting peace, stability, and progress in the region and beyond," according to a Foreign Ministry statement.

Bahraini Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani also lauded Pakistan's "constructive mediation role" in facilitating the understanding between Washington and Tehran. Both sides reaffirmed the strong brotherly ties between Pakistan and Bahrain.

Later, Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand commended Pakistan's role in supporting diplomatic engagement and mediation efforts.
