ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar is scheduled to visit Washington on Friday for talks with US Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio, as Islamabad and Washington continue diplomatic engagement on regional peace, security and bilateral cooperation.
According to Pakistan’s Foreign Office, Dar will travel to Washington after concluding meetings at the United Nations Security Council and other engagements in New York.
The two sides are expected to review bilateral relations and exchange views on regional and global developments of mutual interest.
“The discussions will also focus on strengthening cooperation in key priority sectors, as well as Pakistan’s efforts to promote regional peace and stability through dialogue and diplomacy,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.
The visit comes amid heightened diplomatic activity linked to the Middle East crisis, maritime security concerns and ongoing efforts to preserve the Iran-US ceasefire framework.
Pakistan has played an active diplomatic role in recent months, maintaining engagement with Tehran, Washington, Gulf states and other international partners as negotiations continue over broader regional stability and reopening maritime trade routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Foreign Office said the visit reflects Pakistan’s commitment to “further deepening its longstanding and broad-based partnership with the United States.”
Dar is expected to return to Islamabad following the completion of his official engagements in Washington later the same day.
