Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar spoke with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud in a detailed telephone discussion about the evolving regional situation and pressing bilateral matters. The Saudi side commended Pakistan’s constructive role in promoting regional peace and stability and in fostering engagement between the United States and Iran, underscoring Islamabad’s emerging influence as a stabilizing axis in the Gulf and broader Middle East. The conversation also covered maritime security, with particular emphasis on the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting the critical importance of secure sea lanes for global energy markets and international trade. Both leaders agreed to maintain close contact on ongoing regional and international developments, signaling a shared commitment to de-escalation and coordinated action. This exchange reflects a growing Pakistan-Saudi alignment in response to shifting Gulf dynamics, energy security considerations, and the broader objective of sustaining regional stability amid tensions elsewhere in the Middle East. In my view, this dialogue is a constructive step, but its long-term impact will depend on transparent, multilateral engagement and practical follow-through, including concrete cooperative measures in intelligence sharing, maritime security, and economic collaboration to avoid overreliance on any single regional power.
