Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has intensified diplomatic efforts to advance a new round of talks between the United States and Iran. With this aim, he will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey this week, AP News reported. A statement from the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said that the main objective of the visit, which will last from today, April 15 to April 18, will be to strengthen bilateral relations and discuss regional peace and security.
