KARACHI, May 28 (Reuters) - Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar will visit Washington on Friday where he will meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Pakistan's foreign ministry said on Thursday.

The visit comes as Islamabad is attempting to negotiate a peace pact to permanently end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.

Dar will meet Rubio "to review bilateral relations and exchange views on regional and global developments of mutual interest", the foreign ministry said in a statement.
