Appreciating Pakistan’s diplomatic role in the US war on Iran, Oman reiterates its commitment to strengthening the longstanding partnership between the two countries.
Top Pakistani and Omani diplomats have discussed regional peace efforts in Islamabad, calling for "dialogue and diplomacy" to resolve the regional conflicts.
Addressing a joint press stakeout after their bilateral talks, Ishaq Dar and his Omani counterpart, Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi, said on Wednesday that they are both "on the same page", as this is “the only way forward” to resolve regional conflicts.
Albusaidi arrived in Islamabad on Tuesday on a two-day official visit amid a widening Middle East conflict with renewed tensions between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi militia.
The two sides also held the eighth session of the Pakistan-Oman Joint Ministerial Commission.
Dar, in his remarks, said that the two sides exchanged views on recent Houthi militia attacks on Saudi Arabia, calling them “totally unacceptable".
“I underscored that attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure are totally unacceptable. My brother [Albusaidi] actually fully endorses this. Violations of international law pose a serious threat to regional peace and security,” he said.
“I reaffirmed Pakistan’s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and our unwavering commitment to the kingdom’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and security in accordance with the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement,” he said.
