WANA (Mar 29) – Pakistan has announced that Iran has approved the passage of 20 additional Pakistani-flagged vessels through the Strait of Hormuz—a strategic corridor for global energy trade that has faced significant restrictions in recent weeks.

 

According to Anadolu Agency, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed the decision on the social media platform X, describing it as a “constructive step” and expressing appreciation for the move.

 

Highlighting its importance, he said the decision signals progress toward regional peace and stability, emphasizing that dialogue, diplomacy, and confidence-building measures are the only viable path forward.

 

At the same time, Pakistan is set to host a four-party meeting on Sunday to address the Middle East crisis. The meeting will bring together senior diplomats from Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia in Islamabad to explore ways to ease tensions.
