Gate News update: On April 9, according to a report by Turkey’s Anadolu Agency, Pakistani government sources said that the U.S.-Iran delegations will hold direct talks in Islamabad, aiming to reach a permanent ceasefire agreement. The talks are set to begin on Saturday and may last for more than a day. Pakistan will host the negotiations, which will take place at a heavily guarded military facility, organized by Pakistan’s armed forces.
According to the sources, the negotiations have no fixed timeline and will include both direct and indirect contacts between the delegations. Both sides will also hold in-person meetings, and separate talks with the Pakistani side. Given the complexity of the issue, discussions could last several days. But for security reasons, the direct negotiations are not expected to exceed 2 to 3 days.
