Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, stumbled during a formal event on Sunday, when greeting his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty.

The instance occurred at Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad, as Dar seemed to his lose his footing and stumbled, but the staff and security quickly came to his aid.

On Monday, his son Ali Dar informed that Ishaq Dar was diagnosed with a "hairline fracture" in the shoulder after the accident.

In a statement, the minister did not show any signs of injury, but his son revealed that he was on pain killers to manage discomfort and only agreed for a medical checkup late at night.

"Ishaq Dar Sahib, despite sustaining an injury during the reception of the Egyptian Foreign Minister today, completed all highly important meetings throughout the day on painkillers, Alhamdulillah, in the best possible manner," Ali Dar said on X.

He also added that around 9 pm, after recording the official statement, a medical examination was conducted at the insistence of the family.

"His X-rays are Alhamdulillah overall fine. There is a hairline fracture in the shoulder. In the coming few days, his pain will be managed through medications and other precautionary measures," he said.

Dar was attending a diplomatic event hosted by his country, and the meeting saw participation from the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey. The topics on the discussions agenda included the ongoing conflict in West Asia, as Islamabad emerged as a potential venue to hold peace talks between Iran and United States.

The leaders were scheduled to hold talks on the developments in West Asia, while also meeting Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Reuters reported on Sunday, quoting the Foreign Office.

In a post on his social media handle, Dar shared, "Pleased to welcome my dear brothers, the Foreign Ministers of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Egypt, to Islamabad for the second round of our Consultations. Grateful for their presence at this critical moment, reflecting our strong fraternal ties.

"Our candid and constructive discussions focus on the evolving regional situation and advancing peace and stability, while strengthening our partnership and deepening cooperation across diverse domains," the post read.

On Sunday, Reuters reported that Pakistan said it was preparing to host "meaningful talks" to end the conflict in coming days even though Tehran said it is ready to respond if the United States moves in with soldiers on the ground.

After the meeting was held between the leaders, Dar said they had covered possible ways to bring an early and permanent end to the war in the region as well as potential US-Iran talks in Islamabad.

"Pakistan will be honoured to host ⁠and facilitate meaningful talks between the two sides in coming days, for a comprehensive and lasting settlement of the ongoing conflict," he said.
