A statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office of Pakistan said that an agreement document was signed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as the guarantor and mediator. The top leadership of America and Iran, representing their respective countries, approved the document. The Pakistan government has presented this development as its diplomatic success.
Trying to appear active on the international stage
Political analysts believe that Pakistan wants to present this opportunity as an achievement of its foreign policy. The country is currently facing economic challenges, financial pressure and many domestic issues.

According to experts, Pakistan has been trying to maintain its role in regional politics for a long time. It has a special interest in issues related to the Middle East, because Iran is its neighboring country and there are strategic and economic relations between the two countries.
Keep an eye on regional equations
The possible improvement in relations between Iran and America could have an impact on the politics of the entire Middle East. If tension between the two countries reduces, a change may also be seen in the regional balance of power. In such a situation, Pakistan wants to ensure that its relevance remains in the changing situation.
Analysts say that Islamabad often tries to register its involvement in major international issues. Be it a matter of regional security or diplomatic talks, Pakistan has been calling itself a supporter of dialogue and solution.
Importance of influence in diplomacy
Foreign policy experts believe that the international role of any country is determined not just by statements but by its actual influence and contribution. Therefore, in the coming times, it will be interesting to see how effective Pakistan’s role remains in the Iran-US dialogue process and whether it is able to further strengthen its position in regional politics.
At present, Pakistan is presenting this agreement as its diplomatic achievement, while the international community is keeping an eye on the further talks and their outcomes.
