00:00As you know, the mediators, Qatar, Pakistan and now Oman are all working together on that issue.
00:05We are coordinating very closely with the Omanis to facilitate the talks.
00:34We can confirm that the efforts are still ongoing with all the parties.
00:39We are looking towards diplomatic resolution as we are speaking right now.
00:43As you know, there are current efforts on the ground that are in very progressive stages
00:49and we are working with all the parties to see this effort.
00:52Even now, there is no agreement as we said.
00:56It may change the past few days and the past few days.
00:58We do not know.
00:59But even now, we are still in the direction of the agreement.
01:02Now, with respect to the current situation,
01:05what is important to us is the return to the agreement.
01:08Until we reach the return to the agreement,
01:10there are things that need to be taken to the earth.
01:12The first thing is the return to the agreement and the return to the water.
01:14And the return to the water and the return to the water.
01:19Our focus now is on avoiding escalation.
01:23Reopening the strait and reopening the door for diplomacy between the parties.
01:29What we do not want to see right now is a major escalation in our region
01:33as the events were leading towards that direction.
01:35So we are working very closely with our partners in the region
01:38and with the parties of the conflict to reach a diplomatic resolution,
01:41whether it be short-term or mid-term,
01:43that would lead us towards avoiding any major escalation.
01:48Right now, we don't have anything on the books when it comes to direct talks, of course.
01:51We are doing our job as mediators along with Oman and the other mediators
01:56and Pakistan and everybody in the region in exchanging ideas between parties.
02:01But we are hopeful that if we can get a resumption of the talks anytime soon,
02:08we'd be able to push forward towards a major deal that would help us walk back into a situation of
02:14peace in our region.
