Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, held a phone conversation with Türkiye’s Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan, on Monday, according to Radio Pakistan.
The two ministers discussed regional developments and bilateral relations, the state broadcaster reported. The call also touched on the importance of diplomacy as the best path to regional stability, as noted by the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), which covered the same exchange.
The conversation comes amid ongoing diplomatic engagement between Islamabad and Ankara, two countries that have maintained close ties in recent years. The Express Tribune and Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs both confirmed the call, with the MFA noting that Dar spoke with Fidan on the same day.
Details of the specific regional issues addressed were not disclosed in the reports. However, the emphasis on diplomatic solutions suggests the two sides are aligned on a measured approach to tensions in the wider region.
The phone call is the latest in a series of high-level contacts between the two nations, which regularly coordinate on matters of mutual concern. Both countries have previously stressed the need for dialogue in resolving disputes.
Observers will be watching for any follow-up statements from either foreign ministry that might offer more specifics on the topics covered. Further talks or meetings between the two delegations could signal deeper coordination in the coming weeks.
