Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has invited his counterparts to Islamabad, where meetings are scheduled for Sunday and Monday.
“During the visit, the foreign ministers will hold in-depth discussions on a range of issues, including efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region,” Pakistan’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
The visiting ministers are also expected to meet Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty will join counterparts from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey for the discussions, Egypt’s foreign ministry confirmed.
