Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Hussain Andrabi said on Thursday that Pakistan would encourage the United States and Iran to stop violence and resume talks under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) it helped mediate last month.

"While the implementation of the MoU is facing challenges, Pakistan will continue to encourage all sides to end violence and resume technical-level talks in accordance with the MoU," Andrabi said during a weekly press briefing in Islamabad.

Expressing deep concern over the renewed tensions between Iran and the United States, the FO spokesperson noted that Pakistan was closely monitoring the evolving regional situation and believes that negotiations remain the best way to address disputes.

Andrabi said that the conflicts serve no one's interests and hoped that all sides would remain committed to the peaceful resolution of differences.
