On the 16th local time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan held a press conference calling on the US and Iran to stop the military conflict and resume negotiations at the technical level as soon as possible. Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrabi said at a regular press conference on the same day that as hostilities continued to escalate in the past week, Pakistan once again called on all parties to exercise maximum restraint and avoid any actions that further disrupt regional peace and stability. He stressed that Pakistan has always believed that there is no alternative to continuing contacts, dialogue and diplomacy to achieve the common goal of lasting peace, stability and development. He also pointed out that all conflicts and disputes ultimately need to be resolved through dialogue, and the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed by the US and Iran last month remains a lasting framework for promoting peace, mutual respect and common prosperity.
