In Islamabad, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held his first official meeting with Pakistan's top civilian-military leadership, referred to here as FM CDF Syed Asim Munir, amid heightened anticipation of a broader diplomatic push. The discussions centered on deepening bilateral ties, expanding trade and energy connectivity, and strengthening security coordination along the western border, while also addressing evolving regional dynamics such as Afghanistan's stability, cross-border security, and shifting regional alignments. An unofficial late-night interaction among senior aides underscored the urgency and desire to set a constructive tone for forthcoming engagements. With Pakistan's civil-military leadership actively seeking a potential diplomatic breakthrough, the talks were framed as preparatory for high-level discussions expected to involve influential U.S. figures Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who are due to arrive in the capital. Participants signaled willingness to align on security, economic cooperation, and risk management to present a cohesive front to external partners, aiming to advance a more predictable security environment and greater regional economic engagement.
