The quadrilateral talks of foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan were held in Islamabad on Sunday to discuss the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and make efforts to deescalate the Iran war. The high-level talks involving Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, and Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will be held over two days.
The talks are focused on de-escalating the US and Israel’s war with Iran and addressing broader regional issues.
The diplomats discussed the ongoing regional situation and deliberated on ways for peace and security.
Islamabad has cordial ties with both Washington and Tehran and, hence, playing an intermediary, conveyed a 15-point peace plan proposed by the US to Iran.
The meeting is being held in a bid to open a window for diplomacy for ending an over-month-long war, which began on February 28.

Dar had earlier confirmed indirect talks between the US and Iran were underway through messages being relayed by Pakistan, with Turkey and Egypt also helping in the effort.
Iran rejected the 15-point US proposal and insisted that it will end the “imposed war” on its own terms and timeline.
Iran offered a counterproposal with five conditions for ending the war: a complete halt to aggression and assassinations; mechanisms to prevent the war from being reimposed; guaranteed payment of reparations; resolution across all fronts and resistance groups; and international recognition of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.
