By Saad Sayeed and Ariba Shahid

ISLAMABAD, April 24 (Reuters) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was expected in the Pakistani capital Islamabad on Friday to discuss proposals for restarting peace talks with the United States, but was not due to meet U.S. negotiators.

Islamabad was the venue for talks between the U.S. and Iran on ending their ‌war that collapsed earlier this week.

Araqchi said in a statement on X he was embarking on visits to Pakistan, Oman and Russia to coordinate with partners on bilateral matters ‌and consult on regional developments, adding that Iran’s neighbours remained Tehran’s priority.
