Naqvi, US envoy review security for expected US-Iran talks in Islamabad

In Pakistan on 20 April 2026, Naqvi met the US and Iranian envoys in Islamabad to discuss preparations for a second round of US-Iran talks. Naqvi told the Iranian envoy that arrangements were complete, and the meeting with the US envoy reviewed security for the talks. Islamabad was under high security.

Uncertainty remained over whether the talks would go ahead on Tuesday. A Pakistani daily said the Iranian delegation was expected to arrive on Tuesday, and US media reported that Vice President JD Vance and a US delegation were set to land in Islamabad within hours.
