In a statement by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, he said Pakistan would be honoured to help end the conflict.
It came after the Financial Times reported that Pakistan's powerful military chief, Field Marshal Asim Muneer, spoke to President Trump on Sunday.
The Prime Minister Sharif spoke to the Iranian president a day later.
Those conversations came at around the same time as Trump said he would delay his threat to destroy Iran's energy grid
after what he said were productive conversations with Tehran to end the war.
It was not clear if the two were related.
The country has warm relations with the Trump administration, Iran and Gulf nations.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif sat next to President Trump and signed the Board of Peace Charter at a ceremony at the ongoing World Economic Forum in Davos.
But Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, who is the leader of opposition in Pakistan's upper house, said the board actually stripped the Palestinians of the right to govern themselves.
