Pakistan, grappling with a stalled economy and regional security pressures, has agreed to stage the first formal U.S.-Iran talks since the 1979 war.
The move follows years of stalled diplomatic efforts and heightens the country’s role as a neutral venue, potentially easing tensions that have cost the region billions in instability.
By offering a platform for dialogue, Islamabad positions itself as a key player in Middle Eastern negotiations, a development that could attract foreign investment and signal a shift in regional alliances.
The historic meeting may unlock new trade corridors and reduce sanctions‑related pressures, directly impacting market confidence and investor sentiment in South Asia.
