ISLAMABAD: Pakistan expressed solidarity with Kuwait and called for dialogue and de-escalation in the Middle East after attacks linked to the ongoing Iran war struck the Gulf state, the foreign office said on Wednesday.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar conveyed the message during a phone call with Kuwait’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, as Kuwait grapples with missile and drone attacks linked to the widening regional conflict.
Iranian strikes targeting US military facilities in the Gulf have spilled into several states including Kuwait, raising security concerns across the region and prompting governments to step up air defenses.
“Deputy Prime Minister / Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar spoke late last night with H.E. Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, Foreign Minister of the State of Kuwait,” Pakistan’s foreign office said in a statement posted on social media.
“They expressed deep concern over regional developments, including attacks on Kuwait. DPM/FM conveyed Pakistan’s solidarity with the leadership and people of Kuwait and emphasized the urgent need for dialogue and de-escalation to promote peace and stability in the region.”
