ISTANBUL: Talks between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkiye on the war in the Middle East could take place this weekend on Pakistani soil, Ankara said on Friday.
Pakistan has emerged as a key mediator between Iran and the United States as the conflict drags on, with Islamabad serving as a go-between for messages passed between the two warring sides.
“Initially, we had planned to hold this meeting in Turkiye... However, since our Pakistani counterparts are required to remain in their country, we moved the meeting to Pakistan,” Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told the private A Haber broadcaster.
“It is possible that we will meet there this weekend,” Fidan added.
According to Ankara’s top diplomat, the talks would bring together the foreign ministers of the four Muslim-majority countries.
