Hello,

I just wanted to make the younger Pakistani generation aware of this if they are not already aware of it.

Since 1979, the United States and Iran do not have direct channels of communication but If either country needs to say anything official to each other then Pakistan and Switzerland are used as the medium.

The United States delivers official communication to Pakistan which Pakistan then passes onto Iran.

Iran delivers official communication to Switzerland which Switzerland then passes onto the US.

So, please spare the conspiracy theories during these heightened tensions such as Pompeo phoning General Bajwa.

Thanks

What does Pakistan get out of it? As I see it Pakistan always appears to be meditating for free we should reap the benefits if we are that important.

Every now and then we find ourself fighting the international isolation narrative. We should not stick our neck out for nothing. No hard cash but some political goodies at least.

It's not negotiations, just for official communications purposes from the US and Iran without any input from Pakistan and Switzerland.

Pakistan is the regional mature body... A government of middle ground tolerance and open hearted.

Pakistan .. like Israel... Is surrounded by crazies.
