Bakai: Iran-Pakistan relations were not created with the beginning of the mediation between Iran and America; These relationships are real, deep and rekindled.
🔹 The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response to the question "Is Pakistan still the mediator of the negotiations between Iran and the USA?" Given the key role of this country in mediation and the sensitivities of this position, each side, Iran and America, may have expectations from Pakistan. Is there a fear that Iran-Pakistan relations will be damaged if the negotiations do not succeed? saying:.
We must distinguish two issues from each other. Iran-Pakistan relations were not created with the beginning of the mediation between Iran and America; These relationships are real, deep and rekindled. Iran was the first country to recognize Pakistan, and over the past decades, a very privileged relationship has been established between the two countries.
🔹 The fact that Pakistan was chosen as a mediator of negotiations was a product of this platform and privileged relations between the two countries. We are determined to make maximum use of the opportunity created to strengthen relations with Pakistan as much as possible.
Pakistan is doing its best. Of course, there is a history that America has failed in mediation efforts due to its maximalist attitudes. However, while we appreciate the efforts and endeavors of Pakistan and other intermediaries, we have always cooperated with those efforts; Because we believe that mediation is a very useful and effective mechanism for resolving international disputes.
