The Foreign Office (FO) said on Wednesday that three special technical groups had been formed ahead of the second round of talks between the US and Iran, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FO Spokesman Tahir Andrabi said that the first group was looking into the matters related to Iran\u2019s nuclear programme; the second into the matters related to restrictions on the Gulf state and its frozen assets, while the third group was working on the situation in Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He informed that technical teams of Pakistan and Qatar would remain in contact with the US and Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrabi said that Pakistan would continue to play a constructive role for peace in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that several countries had praised Pakistan for its efforts to broker a ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, and ultimately bring them to a negotiating table. \u201cPakistan welcomes the world\u2019s appreciation of its efforts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spokesman also had words of praise for the Pakistani media, which, he said, had also played a positive role in helping mediate between the US and Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrabi said that the release of Pakistani ship and members of the crew from the captivity of Somali pirates was a priority for the government, which had also held an inter-ministerial meeting on the issue. \u201cThe government is in touch with Ansar Burney, local NGOs and other organisations to secure the release of these captives,\u201d he informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that Pakistan had condemned Israel\u2019s bombardment on Lebanon. \u201cWe have helped in the return of 30 Iranian nationals to their country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He reiterated Pakistan\u2019s stance that the Taliban must not allow the Afghan soil to be used against Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spokesman said that both Pakistan and China were cooperating with each other in fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said he had not read the statement given by India\u2019s national security adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval. \u201cHowever, the use of foul language by him is a routine matter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrabi said that whether Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project was on the agenda of talks between Iranian president and Pakistani leadership was not in his knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that both Lebanon and Israel were members of the United Nations. \u201cHowever, the ceasefire between the two is slightly different from the ceasefire in Gaza,\u201d he opined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stressed the need for stopping Israeli atrocities in Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spokesman said that Pakistan considered the Strait of Hormuz an important waterway. \u201cParties to the conflict must ensure free movement of ships through the strait,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AFP adds: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistan said on Wednesday that technical talks that Islamabad has been mediating between the United States and Iran were set to restart next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Talks will resume next week, I presume on Tuesday,” Pakistan’s foreign ministry spokesman Tahir Andrabi told journalists in Islamabad, adding next Monday or Wednesday were also possible start dates and without providing details on the location of discussions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
