MALE’ — The foreign ministers of the Maldives and Pakistan held high-level discussions via telephone on Saturday, focusing on deepening bilateral cooperation and navigating the escalating volatility in the Gulf.
The conversation, between Maldivian Foreign Minister Dr. Iruthisham Adam and Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, underscores a strategic alignment as both nations seek to bolster regional stability.
During the exchange, Minister Adam extended her commendations to Senator Dar for Pakistan’s active diplomatic efforts to mediate the intensifying standoff between Iran and the United States. Islamabad has increasingly positioned itself as a critical interlocutor in the region, seeking to de-escalate tensions that have threatened the strategic security of the Strait of Hormuz.
Beyond the immediate geopolitical crises, the two ministers reaffirmed the longstanding fraternal relations between Male and Islamabad. Senator Dar took the opportunity to offer formal congratulations to Minister Adam on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the Maldives’ independence, a milestone that highlights the enduring partnership between the two South Asian nations.
