Pakistan Coordinates Regional Security Talks with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia
Pakistan is hosting diplomatic missions from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to address Middle East stability, Red Sea security, and U.S.-Iran negotiations.
The Government of Pakistan is positioning itself as a regional mediator through a series of high-level diplomatic engagements. From July 29 to July 30, 2026, Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar and Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif hosted Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah in Islamabad. The talks focused on expanding bilateral cooperation in energy, IT, agriculture, and maritime affairs, while Prime Minister Sharif condemned attacks on Gulf nations and invited the Crown Prince of Kuwait to visit Pakistan.
Following the Kuwaiti visit, Mohammad Ishaq Dar held discussions with Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah. The officials addressed security concerns specifically regarding the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb strait. Both parties also expressed support for a Jordanian proposal to convene Arab and Islamic nations to discuss the situation in Palestine, with a particular focus on East Jerusalem.
Parallel to these efforts, the Pakistan Foreign Office announced that the government is actively facilitating negotiations between the United States and Iran. This diplomatic push is based on a memorandum of understanding signed in Islamabad last month, aimed at stabilizing the fragile security environment across the Middle East.
