Pakistan yesterday welcomed a decision by the United States to join
multilateral negotiations with Iran on its nuclear program as a step towards a
diplomatic settlement of the crisis.
"The statement by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice indicating willingness
of the United States to talk to Iran along with the European Union is a positive
development," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
"We hope it would lead to a reduction of tensions and negotiations for a
diplomatic solution of the Iranian nuclear issue," it said.
