As Pakistan engages in intense diplomacy ahead of a potential second round of US-Iran peace negotiations, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will set out on a four-day diplomatic blitz to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey on Wednesday, according to Islamabad’s foreign ministry.
From April 15–18, 2026, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif will go to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the State of Qatar, and the Republic of Turkiye, according to a statement released by the ministry using Turkey’s official name.
According to the statement, Sharif will visit Saudi Arabia and Qatar “in the bilateral context” while in Turkey, where he will attend the Antalya Diplomacy Forum and have bilateral discussions with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other dignitaries.
In an attempt to put an end to the more than six-week conflict that started when the United States and Israel bombed Iran, Washington and Tehran had their first in-person negotiations in decades over the weekend in Islamabad.
With Iran’s reaction targeting US allies in the Gulf, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and preventing energy supplies from the region, the conflict has engulfed the Middle East.
