Pakistan played a central role as the primary mediator during these talks, with Qatar providing supporting assistance. The discussions focused on establishing a framework for potential de-escalation and future agreements between the two nations. Simultaneously, the R-4 group of nations convened in Cairo to garner regional support for the emerging deal.
