Muscat [Oman], April 26 (ANI): Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi is set to return to Islamabad on Sunday following high-level meetings and diplomatic engagements in Muscat, Oman, CNN reported.
According to CNN, citing an Iranian source, Araghchi has departed the Omani capital and is expected to arrive shortly at Nur Khan Airbase on the outskirts of Islamabad.
He will make a brief stopover in Pakistan before traveling onward to Moscow, Russia, as part of his scheduled three-nation tour.
Earlier in the day, Araghchi met Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman to discuss bilateral relations, regional developments, and diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving ongoing crises in West Asia, according to Iranian state media Press TV.
The meeting was held at Al-Baraka Palace in Muscat, where Araghchi briefed the Omani leadership on Iran’s perspective regarding recent developments in the region.
The Iranian foreign minister also expressed appreciation for Oman’s role in supporting dialogue and promoting regional stability amid ongoing tensions, Press TV reported.
Sultan Haitham highlighted Oman’s mediation efforts, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and diplomacy to achieve sustainable political solutions and reduce the impact of regional crises.
Araghchi had departed Islamabad late Saturday after a day of high-level meetings with Pakistani leadership, during which he shared a framework aimed at “permanently ending” the ongoing conflict involving the United States in West Asia.
In a post on X following his departure, Araghchi said Iran had outlined its position on a workable framework to permanently end the war, adding that it remains to be seen whether the United States is genuinely committed to diplomacy.
“Shared Iran’s position concerning a workable framework to permanently end the war on Iran. Have yet to see if the U.S. is truly serious about diplomacy,” he said.
This comes after the Iranian delegation, led by Araghchi, left Islamabad on Saturday evening following high-level talks with Pakistani leadership.
According to a statement posted by Araghchi on Telegram, he explained Iran’s “principled positions regarding the latest developments related to the ceasefire and the complete end of the imposed war” against the Islamic Republic by U.S. and Israeli forces to the Pakistani side. (ANI)
