Javaid Iqbal, president of Pakistan’s National Institute of Maritime Affairs, said Islamabad is well positioned to act as a facilitator and mediator in regional tensions, citing its strategic location, nuclear status and ties with major stakeholders, including the United States, Gulf countries and Iran.
