Pakistan sets up media centre for coverage of US-Iran talks

Pakistan has established a state-of-the-art media centre in Islamabad to facilitate domestic and international journalists covering talks between the United States and Iran, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said.

Tarar told reporters that the facility at the Jinnah Convention Centre provides high-speed internet and a range of free services to support media coverage of the negotiations. Shuttle services have also been arranged to transport journalists between the media centre and a hotel located in the city’s main commercial district, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media. 

Pakistan has also announced visa-on-arrival arrangements for journalists and official delegations arriving from the United States and Iran for the talks, which have been dubbed the “Islamabad talks.”

Inside the media centre, rows of workstations equipped with laptops and charging points have been set up for reporters to file stories. Large screens broadcast domestic and international television channels, while dedicated areas have been designated for live stand-ups, press briefings, and interviews.
