TDV: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated on Friday that delegates, journalists, and other representatives of nations attending the ‘Islamabad Talks 2026’ in Islamabad will be issued visas upon arrival.
Pakistan is set to host what could prove to be one of the most consequential diplomatic engagements in recent history, as senior leaders from the US and Iran arrive in Islamabad for high-stakes negotiations following a devastating six-week war that has left thousands dead and pushed the global economy to the brink of recession.
In a post on X today, FM Dar said, “Pakistan welcomes all delegates, including journalists from participating nations, travelling in relation to Islamabad Talks 2026. To this end, all airlines are requested to permit boarding to all such individuals without a visa. Immigration authorities in Pakistan will issue them a visa on arrival.
Later, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi reviewed security arrangements and directed that foolproof security measures be implemented for foreign dignitaries.
