Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has concluded a regional diplomatic tour focused on deepening economic and strategic ties with Central Asian nations.
The Foreign Office stated that the high-level discussions were designed to strengthen bilateral relationships and enhance economic integration across the region.
The government has also emphasized Pakistan’s role as a global peacemaker, citing its involvement in brokering agreements between major powers.
The outreach underscores Islamabad’s broader strategy to diversify its trade corridors and reduce reliance on traditional maritime routes.

This diplomatic push comes as Dar has previously highlighted the Gulf crisis and the Kashmir dispute as primary threats to regional stability.
