The Foreign Office (FO) on Thursday refuted reports that Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar shared any information regarding Iran’s nuclear programme during a meeting with United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Dar met with Rubio on May 29 during a brief visit to Washington, where the two discussed bilateral cooperation as well as regional security issues. Rubio had praised Islamabad’s role “in advancing peace in the Middle East”.
Responding to queries during a weekly press briefing on Thursday, FO Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said Pakistan rejected reports of the deputy premier “exchanging any kind of information about Iran’s nuclear programme”.
“No such information was shared,” he added.
