Araghchi: We have not yet seen if the US is serious about diplomacy

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made an assessment regarding his visit to Pakistan.

In a written statement, the Iranian minister said, "Our visit to Pakistan, which we value highly for its good intentions and brotherly efforts to bring peace back to our region, was very productive. We shared Iran's position on a viable framework that would permanently end the war against Iran."

Criticizing the Washington administration, Araghchi added, "We have not yet seen whether the US is truly serious about diplomacy."

Araghchi's contacts

Araghchi arrived in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, yesterday with his accompanying delegation. As part of his contacts, the Iranian minister held a meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

During the meeting, which was also attended by Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir, relations between the two countries, cooperation in various fields, and regional and international developments were discussed.
