Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi flew to Islamabad Friday night to negotiate a more lasting truce between Iran and the U.S. following a ceasefire agreement between the two countries.

Araghchi met with Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir and Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif in Pakistan’s capital on Saturday to discuss the situation in Iran, according to the prime minister’s X account.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said in an X post that Sharif and other senior leaders met with Araghchi for about two hours on Saturday. Araghchi left Islamabad after those talks, and ahead of the expected arrival of U.S. envoys, the state-run IRNA news agency reported later Saturday.
