Pakistan’s PM hopes to host new round of Iran-US talks 'very soon'

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Sunday he hoped to host a new round of peace talks between the United States and Iran "very soon". Sharif formally offered Islamabad as the venue for the next talks and stated that his country will continue its peace efforts with "utmost sincerity".

Pakistan's push for new talks coincides with recent calls between US President Donald Trump and leaders from several regional nations, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, to discuss steps toward a peaceful settlement. Meanwhile, US and Iran are navigating intense negotiations regarding the Iranian nuclear program, shipping security in the Strait of Hormuz, and sanctions relief.
