TEHRAN: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday offered to mediate between Pakistan and Afghanistan after peace talks between the two countries, facilitated by Qatar and Turkiye, ended in failure. President Pezeshkian made the offer to Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi during a meeting in Tehran, offering to play his part in easing tensions between the two nations. The Iranian president’s remarks come just hours after Pakistan confirmed that negotiations with the Afghan Taliban regime had ended without any progress.
Meanwhile, the interior minister informed the Iranian president of matters related to the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The two leaders also deliberated on ways to enhance bilateral cooperation. President Pezeshkian affirmed that his country attached “special importance to its relations with Pakistan” and could not forget the “immense support from Islamabad” throughout the years.
