Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Sunday concluded an official visit to the United Kingdom and has departed for Turkiye’s Istanbul, where he will “undertake official engagements,” the Foreign Office (FO) said.
Dar’s visit to Turkiye comes ahead of the upcoming Regional 4 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Istanbul.
In a post on social media platform X, FO said Dar “concluded a successful official visit to the UK”, where he met several officials including UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, Minister of State for Pakistan Stephen Doughty, National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell, International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Secretary General Arsenio Dominguez and Commonwealth Secretary General Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey.
During the visit, Dar also interacted with British parliamentarians of Pakistani origin and the Pakistani diaspora in the UK.
Earlier this month, Turkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan invited DPM Dar to the Regional 4 meeting, which includes Saudi Arabia and Egypt, in addition to Turkiye and Pakistan.
