ISLAMABAD, March 29 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, held a telephone conversation late Saturday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, promising that Pakistan will continue to support efforts aimed at restoring regional peace and stability, the Pakistani foreign office said on Sunday, reported Xinhua.
The two sides reviewed the situation, with Dar stressing that dialogue and diplomacy remain the only viable path to lasting peace. He called for an end to all attacks and hostilities, reaffirming Pakistan's commitment to peaceful engagement.
Dar announced on Sunday in a social media post that Tehran had agreed to allow 20 additional Pakistani-flagged ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with two vessels scheduled to transit daily.
He described the move as a constructive gesture that could help ease tensions and promote regional stability.
The Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy corridor, remains under close watch amid heightened geopolitical tensions.
