Dhaka, April 22 -- The White House has confirmed that U.S. Vice President JD Vance's planned visit to Pakistan for peace negotiations has been cancelled.

Vance had been scheduled to travel to Islamabad for a second time this month, with his arrival expected on Wednesday, as part of efforts to finalise a deal with Iranian officials.

"Any further updates on in-person meetings will be announced by the White House," an administration official said.

The decision follows President Donald Trump's announcement that he agreed to extend the U.S.-Iran ceasefire indefinitely.
