Japan and Pakistan call for renewed US-Iran dialogue in New York
Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi met with his Pakistani counterpart, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, in New York and called for US-Iran talks to resume to end the conflict in the Middle East. They discussed navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, energy supplies, supply chains and the effects on the global economy.
A call to restore dialogue between the United States and Iran was one of the main issues discussed at a Japan-Pakistan meeting in New York. Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi met with Pakistani Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings.
Motegi said he was seriously concerned about the ongoing military tensions in the Middle East and called for them to be eased as soon as possible. The Japanese minister stressed the importance of resuming talks between the United States and Iran to end the conflict.
Nuclear program and Strait of Hormuz on the agenda
In recent weeks, the US-Iran talks made no progress on an agreement to limit Iran's nuclear program or on reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Motegi said free and safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, which is important to global trade, must be ensured without creating additional costs.
Pakistan hopes dialogue will produce results
Mohammad Ishaq Dar said Pakistan remained hopeful that negotiations between the United States and Iran could produce a solution. The two ministers agreed that all parties should return to dialogue and work to implement the Islamabad Memorandum.
The sides also assessed the conflict's effects on energy supplies, supply chains and the global economy. Motegi conveyed Tokyo's appreciation for Pakistan's efforts to mediate in the conflict.
Japan's Foreign Ministry said the conflict began in late February with military actions by the United States and Israel. According to the ministry, the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the conflict contributed to disruptions in global energy markets.
