Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Saturday said he held a second meeting with his Iranian counterpart Eskandar Momeni to discuss the evolving Middle East security situation, as diplomatic efforts to revive stalled US-Iran talks remain deadlocked, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The second meeting was also held on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting of interior and public security ministers in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
“Met my dear brother, H.E. Eskandar Momeni, Interior Minister of Iran again,” Naqvi said in a post on X. “We reviewed the evolving regional security situation and discussed matters of mutual interest,” he added.

Pakistani officials have remained in contact with leaders of both Iran and the US since the conflict began in late February, relaying messages and peace proposals between the two sides.
They also played an instrumental role in bringing about a fragile ceasefire on April 8. While the arrangement largely remains in place, peace talks between the two sides have stalled over issues related to Iran’s uranium enrichment programme and the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran closed following joint US-Israeli strikes on Tehran.
Naqvi and Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir also visited Iran in May to hold high-level meetings aimed at advancing mediation efforts and helping secure a breakthrough in talks between the two sides.
Pakistan’s engagement with Iran has intensified as tensions have risen again, with Iranian and US forces carrying out sporadic strikes against each other.
