ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif held a telephone call with Iranian President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday evening, during which the two leaders exchanged detailed views on the regional situation and ongoing efforts to promote peace and stability, according to the Prime Minister's Office.

The conversation, described as warm and cordial, lasted fifty minutes.

Prime Minister Shehbaz appreciated the participation of the high-level Iranian delegation in the talks held in Islamabad on April 11-12, 2026.

He also welcomed Iran's decision to send a delegation led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Islamabad, which held important meetings earlier Saturday, including a detailed two-hour meeting with the prime minister.

Sharing an overview of his recent diplomatic outreach to a number of world leaders, the prime minister emphasized that these interactions had been helpful in building broader consensus in support of sustained dialogue and diplomacy aimed at achieving lasting peace in the war-affected region.

The prime minister also expressed appreciation for the fruitful discussions conducted by the Iranian leadership with Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir during his recent visit to Tehran earlier this month.

Reassuring President Pezeshkian of Pakistan's firm commitment to regional peace, Prime Minister Shehbaz said that Pakistan would continue its "sincere and honest endeavours" to promote regional peace and security.

President Pezeshkian thanked the prime minister, Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar for their significant contribution to the peace efforts. While expressing Iran's desire for peace, he also expressed confidence that the fraternal ties between Iran and Pakistan would continue to strengthen and expand in the future.

The prime minister conveyed his respectful greetings and regards to Iran's Supreme Leader, His Eminence Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

Both leaders agreed to continue their close coordination moving forward.

The call comes as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also met with Sharif on Saturday as he arrived in Pakistan late Friday.
