Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar falls on the red carpet while welcoming Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdellatty in Islamabad ahead of Middle East de-escalation talks on Sunday.The incident took place at the Ministry of External Affairs when Dar proceeded to welcome the visiting dignitary. In a clip circulated on social media, Dhar moves towards the Egyptian leader but his foot slips and he falls. He is immediately assisted by the security personnel.Pakistan is hosting two-day talks with Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia focused on de-escalating the Iran war, with initial discussions focusing on proposals to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restore global shipping flows. The waterway, a key route for oil and LNG, has seen disruption after Iran blocked traffic in response to the US and Israeli attacks. Notably, neither the United States nor Israel are part of the discussion.The countries involved have sent ideas to Washington, including mechanisms to ensure safe sea passage and even a possible union to manage oil flows through the strait.
