Iranian Delegation Meets Pakistan PM In Islamabad

ISTANBUL, April 11 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The Iranian delegation met on Saturday with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad, in what the public broadcaster IRIB said was expected to address alleged breaches of ceasefire commitments by the US side.

Anadolu Ajansi reported that the meeting between the Iranian delegation and Sharif began at 1.30 pm local time (0830 GMT), citing the IRIB correspondent in the Pakistani capital.

During the talks, Iran was also expected to discuss its 10-point proposal, which it says forms the framework for the ongoing negotiations to permanently end the war that started on Feb 28.

Iranian parliament speaker Bagher Ghalibaf and his team, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Deputy to the National Security Council Ali Bagheri Kani, arrived in Islamabad earlier on Saturday.

The US delegation, meanwhile, is led by Vice President JD Vance and also includes Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Pakistan is hosting the landmark negotiations, expected to be held in both direct and indirect formats, dubbed the "Islamabad Talks" – the most significant since 1979 – to end the West Asia conflict amid a fragile two-week ceasefire. The truce was mediated by Pakistan earlier this week.

Ghalibaf had earlier said that attacks on Lebanon, the entry of a drone into Iranian airspace, and the denial of the Islamic Republic’s right to enrich uranium constituted violations of the ceasefire.
