Islamabad — Pakistan has no connection with the Abraham Accords and will not become part of the initiative, the Foreign Office said on Thursday, clarifying the country’s position amid questions raised in recent days.

At the weekly press briefing, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Hussain Andrabi said Pakistan was also not joining the International Stabilization Force (ISF). He explained that the ISF and the Board of Peace were separate entities, and that Pakistan’s participation in the Board of Peace was based on mutually agreed governmental rules, with no linkage to the Abraham Accords.

Responding to concerns about a possible conflict involving Iran, the spokesperson said Pakistan has consistently supported the peaceful resolution of disputes. He said Islamabad does not support the use of force or economic sanctions and hopes that stability will prevail in the region.

Addressing a question on trade relations, Andrabi said Pakistan maintains strong ties with Europe, with bilateral trade exceeding €12 billion. He added that Pakistan is aware of India’s trade-related engagements with European countries and continues its own dialogue with European partners.

The spokesperson also said Asif Ali Zardari recently met Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, during which Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Council for Financial and Economic Affairs discussed exploring new investment opportunities in Pakistan and reviewing ongoing projects. Both sides agreed to take joint steps to enhance investment through flagship projects and expand trade.

Providing an update on diplomatic engagements, Andrabi said Ishaq Dar held telephone conversations this week with the foreign ministers of Iran and Bangladesh to discuss regional developments. He added that delegation-level talks were also held with Ghana on bilateral relations.

The spokesperson said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he met several global leaders, accompanied by Ishaq Dar. Following the Davos meetings, the foreign minister visited the United Arab Emirates, where discussions included potential investment in Pakistan by the telecommunications company Etisalat.

Commenting on a travel advisory issued by the United States, Andrabi said Pakistan-US relations remain positive, noting that Washington has withdrawn some previously issued advisories and that bilateral relations are proceeding normally.

He also announced that the President of Kazakhstan is expected to visit Pakistan in the near future, adding that details regarding proposed memorandums of understanding would be shared later.
