The Pakistani authorities are prepared to ensure the full security of foreign delegations during the upcoming US-Iran talks scheduled to be held in Islamabad.
The Operative Information Center-OMM reports that Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Raza Naqvi conveyed this assurance to the US Ambassador to Pakistan, Natalie Baker. According to reports from the "Dawn" newspaper, the minister stated: "A comprehensive plan has been developed to ensure the absolute security of all foreign guests."
To verify and coordinate the security measures, an advance group consisting of 30 US military personnel has already arrived in Islamabad. The meeting between Minister Naqvi and Ambassador Baker focused on the logistical and protection requirements necessary for the high-level diplomatic engagement between Washington and Tehran.
The selection of Islamabad as a venue for these discussions highlights Pakistan's recurring role as a diplomatic mediator in the region. Historically, Pakistan has maintained a delicate balance in its relations with both the United States and Iran, often facilitating communication to reduce regional tensions. These talks come at a significant time following the inauguration of US President Donald Trump in January 2025, as his administration outlines its foreign policy objectives regarding Middle Eastern security and nuclear non-proliferation.
