(FOX NEWS) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio is meeting Friday with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar in Washington, D.C.
Pakistan has served as a key mediator in talks between the U.S. and Iran. The two sides are trying to reach a deal to end the ongoing war in the Middle East.
Rubio said last week that “the primary interlocutor on this has been Pakistan, and it continues to be.
“And they’ve done, I think, an admirable job, and that’s who we continue to work through. Obviously, other countries have interests because — especially Gulf countries that are in the middle of all this may have their own situation going, and we talk to all of them. But I would just say that the primary country we’ve been working with on all of this is Pakistan, and that remains the case,” he added.
