Talks in Pakistan with Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia have centered on proposals to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime route that has been largely shut since Iranian retaliation for airstrikes by the United States and Israel. The discussions are part of broader efforts to ease tensions and restore stability to global energy markets.

Sources say proposals related to maritime traffic management were shared with Washington ahead of the meeting. Among the ideas discussed were fee structures modeled on the Suez Canal and the possible creation of a regional consortium to oversee oil shipments through the waterway.

While Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia are reportedly considering forming such a consortium and have raised the possibility of Pakistan joining, Pakistani officials indicate no formal request has been made and suggest Islamabad is unlikely to participate. Diplomatic contacts between Pakistan and the United States have continued alongside the talks, as regional powers seek confidence-building measures that could support a broader ceasefire and the safe passage of ships.
