Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar is set to visit Washington on Friday for discussions with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as announced by Pakistan's foreign ministry. The talks will focus on reviewing bilateral relations and addressing regional and international developments, particularly in light of the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran. This visit comes amid rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia, where diplomatic efforts are underway to prevent further escalation following military confrontations involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.

Graham emphasized that Pakistan's stance on the Abraham Accords, aimed at normalizing relations between Israel and Arab nations, should be clarified to ensure its neutrality in the negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
