Foreign OfficeFM Bilawal holds telephone conversation with US Secretary of State

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had a telephone conversation with the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

They noted the positive momentum in Pakistan-US relations and agreed to remain constructively engaged to promote peace, security and development.

Earlier on Monday, the Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari also held a telephone conversation with European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.

Expressing Pakistan’s concerns over the expiry of the Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI), the foreign minister said that the resulting food inflation and food security-related challenges would adversely impact developing countries like Pakistan which were already under economic pressure.

The foreign minister said that he had also spoken to his Ukrainian and Turkish counterparts on this subject.

Bilawal Bhutto hoped that efforts aimed at reviving the initiative would come to fruition through dialogue and constructive engagement accommodating the concerns of all parties.

The foreign minister requested the EU high representative to play his role to help find a solution that would allow the renewal of BSGI, and conveyed Pakistan’s readiness to contribute to collective efforts in that regard.

The foreign minister and the EU’s high representative agreed to remain engaged on the issue and other matters of mutual interest.
