Any confirmation on this ?
The Omani negotiations were in separate rooms maybe they are replicating the same setup?

What’s behind Pakistan army chief’s attire while receiving delegates
By Abid Hussain
Reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan
When the Iranian delegation arrived in Islamabad on Friday night, Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, received them in military fatigues. On Saturday morning, when US Vice President J D Vance landed, he was wearing a suit.
Does the switch signal anything, or is there a protocol behind it?
A former general, who also served under Pakistan’s last military ruler Pervez Musharraf, says there is no fixed instruction on what an army chief must wear when receiving such delegations.
“Usually, their staff suggests what they should wear, or other times it is the desire of the chief himself, what influence he wants to project. Under the Musharraf era, when I was in service, he would meet delegations sometimes in uniform and other times in a suit,” the general told Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity.
Another recently retired general also said the question of the chief’s attire was “perhaps a non-issue”.
“Protocols obviously vary greatly when it comes to meeting presidents or vice presidents. Normally for such VIPs, the army chief is not part of the welcome party. But we are living in extraordinary times, these are not usual protocols,” he told Al Jazeera.
The deviation from normal protocol, he added, reflects the importance of the ceasefire talks “not just for Pakistan, but for the world”.

This is normal practice in mediation. In fact, this wedges Pakistan right in the middle, making it not just a host but a third impartial party.
