Japan urges renewed US-Iran talks in New York to end Middle East conflict
Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi met with Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar in New York on the sidelines of United Nations General Assembly meetings. Motegi called for the resumption of talks between the United States and Iran to end the conflict in the Middle East.
Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, who met with Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar in New York, called for the resumption of US-Iran talks to end the conflict in the Middle East.
During the meeting, held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly sessions, Motegi said he was seriously concerned about the ongoing military tensions. The Japanese minister stressed the importance of reducing tensions as soon as possible and restoring dialogue between the parties.
Nuclear programme and Strait of Hormuz talks stalled
US-Iran talks have made no progress in recent weeks on an agreement to limit Iran’s nuclear programme and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Motegi said free and safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, an important route for global trade, must be ensured without creating additional costs.
Call for dialogue on the Islamabad Agreement
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 Agreement.
The meeting also addressed 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.
According to Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the conflict began at the end of February with military actions by the United States and Israel. The de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the conflict contributed to disruptions in global energy markets.
