Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to regional stability on Monday, March 30, 2026, following a historic quadrilateral meeting in Islamabad. The session brought together the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and Egypt to address the U.S.-Israel-Iran war. Highlighting the “heavy loss of life and economy” across Muslim nations, the Prime Minister thanked the visiting dignitaries for their confidence in Pakistan’s role as a neutral mediator. This diplomatic surge comes as Deputy PM Ishaq Dar announced that Islamabad could host direct talks between Washington and Tehran “in the coming days.”

A primary focus of the four-way talks was a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively blocked for a month. Sources indicate that the regional powers have floated a plan to the White House involving a Suez Canal-style fee structure and a management consortium led by Turkiye, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia to oversee oil flows. While Pakistan has been asked to participate in this consortium, Islamabad currently maintains it will focus solely on its role as a diplomatic facilitator. The urgency of these talks is underscored by a global fuel crisis and the looming April 6 U.S. deadline for Iran to restore maritime access.
