European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas on Monday commended Pakistan’s role in mediating between the United States and Iran, saying that Pakistan helped avert a full-blown war. “Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts have helped to prevent the return to full-blown war on several occasions, and these efforts are much recognised and appreciated across Europe,” Kallas said while addressing a joint press conference along with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar after the 8th EU-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue.
