In order to meet with US Secretary of State Rubio, Dar travels to Washington.

Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, the Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, has arrived in Washington, D.C., for a crucial meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Senior embassy officials including Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States, Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, met Dar at the airport.

Important aspects of Pakistan-US relations will be covered at the summit, along with strategies for bolstering bilateral relationships. Trade, investment, and economic cooperation will be prioritized.

The deputy prime minister will also discuss Pakistan’s outlook on regional and international challenges, as well as the future of Pakistan-US relations, at the Atlantic Council, a research institution in the United States.

Dar had stated the day before that collaboration between regional organizations like the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) and the United Nations is essential.

On Thursday, he presided over a UN Security Council discussion on collaboration between the two international organizations.

DPM Dar stated that Chapter VIII of the UN Charter, which emphasizes the importance of regional agreements in bolstering the Security Council’s principal duty to uphold international peace and security, is a solid foundation for the collaboration between the UN and the OIC.

According to Dar, “the OIC has continuously acted as a bridge, tying regional and global efforts together and coordinating political and humanitarian priorities.”

He went on to say that OIC, which is devoted to the goals and tenets of the UN Charter, has been a vital mediator for the UN.

Ishaq Dar has previously called on the UN Security Council to work on an unconditional, immediate, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and throughout the occupied Palestinian territories.
He was addressing the open discussion on the Middle East held by the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday.

Restoring humanitarian supply lines, preventing famine in Gaza, and guaranteeing the delivery of life-saving food and medical aid are all urgent priorities, according to the deputy prime minister.
