Pakistan is once again poised to play its role in seeking rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran as Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi left for a visit to Iraq on Friday where senior Saudi and Iranian officials had met recently.
In the past too, Islamabad tried to bring the two regional rivals close but those efforts could not make any headway. Pakistan has high stakes in the Saudi-Iran relationship as tensions between the two key Islamic countries have often put the country in a difficult spot to maintain a balance.
