WANA (Apr 29) – Pakistan’s prime minister stated in a cabinet meeting that the talks held on the night of April 11 between Iran and the United States in Pakistan lasted around 21 hours.

 

He described them as a marathon session, accompanied by extensive efforts from Islamabad to help promote peace in the region.

 

He added that figures such as Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and Ishaq Dar played key roles in the process, which ultimately led to an extension of the ceasefire that remains in place.
