Context of Regional Peace Efforts
Doval's visit to the UAE comes amid uncertainty over the second round of peace talks between the US and Iran in Pakistan.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Sunday landed in Pakistan for the second time in three days and met Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir.
There was no official word from Pakistan about the meeting which apparently focused on the ongoing peace efforts by Islamabad to arrange the second round of talks between the US and Iran.
