Qatar's first shipment since the war began, the Al Kharaitiyat, exited the strait on Sunday and was heading to Pakistan after loading at Ras Laffan.
Ship-tracking data indicated the vessel used the Tehran-approved northern route hugging Iran's coast through the Strait of Hormuz.
The talks aim to secure a limited number of additional cargoes, underscoring Pakistan's reliance on Qatari LNG and the strait's importance during the conflict.
