Dar and Araghchi hold phone talks
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar spoke by telephone with Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi and stressed the need for continued dialogue and diplomacy to manage regional challenges, Pakistan’s Foreign Office said.
The call was presented as a diplomatic exchange focused on how both countries view developments in the region, rather than as an announcement of new agreements or public initiatives.
What the Foreign Office said was discussed
According to the Foreign Office, the two leaders reviewed the evolving regional situation. They also talked about the ongoing Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers meeting in Baghdad. The OIC is a grouping of Muslim-majority countries; its Council of Foreign Ministers brings together foreign ministers to discuss shared political and security concerns.
The FO statement framed Dar’s message around keeping channels of talk open and preferring diplomatic means when regional tensions rise. It did not publish a longer joint communiqué or list of concrete steps beyond that emphasis.
Why the exchange matters for Pakistan–Iran ties
Pakistan and Iran share a long border and regularly consult on regional stability. A phone call at foreign-minister level is a routine but useful way for Islamabad and Tehran to compare notes when an OIC ministerial meeting is under way and when the wider regional picture is shifting.
Officials did not spell out which specific flashpoints were named on the call. What was made clear was Pakistan’s public line: keep talking, and use diplomacy to address challenges rather than leave them unmanaged.
What comes next
No follow-up meetings, travel plans, or new bilateral projects were announced in the Foreign Office account of the conversation. Attention will likely stay on how both capitals engage at the OIC gathering in Baghdad and on any further official statements if the regional situation changes.
