April 14 (Reuters) – UN Secretary-General António Guterres said on Tuesday that the United Nations is working with the indication that it is highly likely that negotiations will resume to end the war in Iran.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said this Tuesday that negotiations could be reactivated in Pakistan in the next two days, according to an interview with the New York Post.
Asked what the United Nations knew about these prospects, Guterres told journalists at the UN: ‘The indication we have is ‘that it is highly likely that these negotiations will resume.’

Guterres, who met this Tuesday with the Pakistani deputy prime minister, praised Pakistan’s peace efforts.
‘I consider it essential that these negotiations continue,’ said Guterres.
‘I think it would be unrealistic to expect that… such a complex and long-lasting problem could be resolved in the first session of a negotiation. So we need the negotiations to continue and we need the ceasefire to persist while the negotiations continue.’
