He “underscored the importance of sustained dialogue and engagement to address outstanding issues to advance regional peace and stability at the earliest,” while Araghchi “appreciated Pakistan\u2019s consistent and constructive facilitation role in this regard,” the statement added.<\/p>\n

The calls come as state media said Araghchi is expected to arrive in Islamabad on Friday night with a small team to partake in a second round of talks with the US. Meanwhile, the US logistics and security team are already in Islamabad for the talks, it added.<\/p>\n

The renewed talks were expected to take place on Tuesday but never took place, with Iran saying it was not yet ready to commit to attending, and a US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance never leaving Washington.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
